Metlox Pottery,  located at 1200 Morningside Drive, Manhattan Beach, California, was founded in 1927 by T. C. Prouty and his son Willis Prouty. The company originally produced outdoor ceramic signs. After the death of T.C. Prouty in 1931, Willis renamed the company Metlox Pottery ("Metlox" is a combination of "metal" and "oxide," a reference to the glaze pigments), and began producing dinnerware.  The Metlox Manufacturing Company was incorporated October 5, 1933.  The first line of pottery produced, "Poppytrail," became well known for its brightly colored glazes derived from locally mined metallic oxides.
