Frankoma Pottery

Well this was a wonderful find today. We were in Bonham Texas and decided to visit the local Goodwill there. Just when I thought there was nothing to be found............Wow there it was all 19 pieces of Frankoma Pottery . I got all of it for $10.00 . I couldn't believe my good luck. For those of you not familar with Frankoma it was made with clay from as far as I know only three places in Oklahoma. Sapulpa, Ada and Shawnee.They went out of business about two years ago. I went on the internet when I got home and looked this patricular patttern up. It is called Westwind Flash and was made around 1962. Out of all of it there are two pieces that have minor damage to it. I also found two Christmas teapots at another thrift store there at 75% off. You know where to go to see those. Happy New Year everyone until next time.....
