| Almost all the pieces
produced at Schoop's North Hollywood factory were personally designed and
modeled by Hedi. The most popular lines were the figurines of men and
women...European and Asian couples in native attire, Hawaiian hula dancers
and American debutantes. Besides the human figures Hedi Schoop produced animal
figurines, vases, planters, candlesticks, ashtrays, and more...often these
articles formed coordinated sets of items.
Business thrived in the 1950s, but a disastrous
fire destroyed her factory in 1958. Schoop chose not to rebuild, instead
selling some of her molds to other local manufacturers, and doing some design
work for The California Cleminsons. Hedi Schoop retired from the pottery
business in the early sixties.
