| Pacific Pottery brought
forth a line of dining and serving pieces called "Hostessware" shortly after
Bauer introduced its popular California Colored Pottery in 1930. With a greater
variety of wares available in the Hostessware line, Pacific's offering gave
Bauer stiff competition. The quality of Pacific's colored wares was high.
The streamlined styling and dynamic glaze colors were very appealing. Seven
glaze colors were first offered: Apache Red, Delphinium Blue, Desert Brown,
Jade Green, Lemon Yellow, Pacific Blue (a deep cobalt), and Sierra White.
As the years passed, these colors would be altered and given new names.
Pacific Pottery also offered hand painted underglaze
decorations which varied in form from simple bands and spirals to more complex
patterns. World War II ended to the Pacific Clay Products Company's promising
pottery production as the company contracted with the government and committed
to full-time defense production.
