In 1941 Betty Cleminson and her husband George started making pottery in their garage in Monterey Park, California. What started as a simple hobby for Betty soon evolved into a thriving business which included lines of dinnerware, kitchenware, and other decorative items. Faced with increasing demand the couple expanded in 1943, opening a large facility in El Monte and changing the name of the company from Cleminson Clay to The California Cleminsons. For the next twenty years their pieces were highly sought after, typically distinguished by their folksy, homemade look with somewhat childlike decorations. The pottery closed in 1963 when George passed away, and the pieces are still highly collectible and can be found in various arts and crafts museums throughout the Southwest.
