| In the mid-forties
Keeler developed a brilliant red glaze which he called Ming Dragon Blood.
This lead to the developement of a successful line of Chinese Modern
housewares...vases, ginger jars, low bowls, smoking sets and more. Business
was good enough to build a new large factory on Delay Drive in Los Angeles.
While Japanese were flooding the market in the early
fifties, Keeler was still expanding, building an even larger factory in San
Juan Capistrano in 1952. Tragically that same year, Keeler suffered a deadly
heart attack. The company couldn't survive the loss and closed its doors
in 1953.
