Brock Ware California Pottery

Brock Ware, also known as Brock of California, is a vintage tableware and kitchenware brand from the mid-20th century. The brand is known for its colourful designs, featuring patterns such as 'Desert Mist', 'Chanticleer', 'South Pacific', and 'Farmhouse'.

Brock Ware was produced during the most active period for the production of household ceramics in California, which was from the 1930s through the 1960s. During this time, California potteries were highly competitive with centres of ceramic production such as the "Pottery Capital of the World", East Liverpool, Ohio.

Brock Ware items were manufactured in a range of styles, including teapots, cups and saucers, plates, bowls, sugar bowls, creamers, gravy boats, serving platters, and more. The brand's designs often featured farm animals such as cows, chickens, and roosters, as well as barns and hay wagons.

Today, Brock Ware is a sought-after collectible, with many pieces available on resale websites such as Etsy.
