Vernon Kilns Facts:
Depression-era economics and streamlined designs diminished America's collector plate market until Vernon Kilns opened on the edge of Los Angeles in 1931. The 1933 earthquake forced the firm to bring out new 'blanks' for dinnerware. The savvy firm quickly realized the potential their popular new shapes could have as collector plates with a simple change in the underglaze transfer design.
From the Arkansas traveler plate of 1936 until the firms absorption by Metlox in 1958, hundreds of Vernon collectors' plate designs were made. A huge variety of attractions, celebrities, events and localities were commemorated, making them interesting to collect today.
