I lived in southern California for three years, having gone there to do graduate work in English. I really enjoyed living in the sunny climate. I also enjoyed the Spanish influences on the architecture. From then on my dream house was a Mediterranean style house with a tiled roof, etc. Another area that caught my imagination were California pottery, including dishes by Franciscan. I never did buy any of these dishes but, during the past year or two I saw some items from California potteries and felt I had to have something. Here is one piece I bought. It is a teapot which happens to be unmarked except that is states "Made in USA"
I haven’t found the sugar and creamer to match, but this set in the Metlox Poppytrail Yorkshire pattern has similar lines.
The swirled surface and the handles goes well with the teapot.
