"Antique Grape" by Metlox Potteries


\
"Antique Grape" was produced by Metlox Potteries, California, in the Poppytrail Division. Metlox Potteries was established in 1927 in Manhattan Beach, California. The company began making dinnerware in 1931. After Evan K. Shaw purchased the company in 1946,  the number of patterns were expanded. Metlox Potteries closed in 1989.

The "Antique Grape"  pattern has a traditional shape and is one of the more popular sculptured grape designs.  This pattern has a scalloped rim with a raised embossed grape design on an off white background. "Antique Grape"  was produced from 1964 to 1984 and then discontinued.

My Mother and I both collected this pattern. I now have all of her "Antique Grape" pottery in addition to what I have collected.
