The Metlox Manufacturing Company was established around 1927 by Willis and T. C. Prouty in Manhattan Beach, California. The Metlox name is derived from combining parts of the words "metal" and "oxide", the substance that gives the pottery its vibrant colors.

Looking for additional ways to increase revenue during the hard times of the 30's, Metlox began producing housewares, including the Poppytrail line. Various dinnerware patterns, including Homestead Provincial and California Provincial, became extremely popular in the 60's, and maintained that popularity until the company went out of business in 1989.

This wonderful Poppytrail covered kettle casserole is in the Homestead Provincial pattern. The Homestead Provincial pattern (#140) was first issued in 1950. The casserole stand 5 1/2" high without the lid and measures 6 3/8" in diameter. As seen in the pictures, this piece is in mint condition with no cracks or chips.
