| By 1947, her company
moved to new headquarters in La Habra, California, where she employed 30
people producing distinctive decorative ceramics. Her hand-decorated head
vases were the principal product and featured hand-applied details like ruffled
bodices, hat bows, curly hairstyles and long eyelashes.
Betty Lou Nichols's distinctive designs could not
be copyrighted, and in the 1950s the market was flooded with inferior Japanese
imports. Betty Lou Nichols closed her pottery in November 1962 when she was
40 years old, unable to compete with the lower-cost imports.
