I’d known that Frankoma Pottery along old Route 66 in Sapulpa had found a new buyer a few months ago. But, as the Daily Oklahoman reports (registration may be required), Frankoma is indeed producing pottery again.
According to the story, it is producing a Christmas plate and three nativity pieces. As usual, the mold will be destroyed to ensure limited production. The pieces can be seen on the front page of their Web site here.
The story also has quite a few details about Frankoma’s history. It also sounds like new owners Det and Crystal Merryman are committed to keeping Frankoma’s traditions but also create some new product lines.
