Description: FLORENCE POTTERY vintage figurine. "Dolores" in a beautiful teal dress. She stands 8-1/2 inches high and is in excellent condition. Florence Pottery began in the mid 1900's in California USA. Florence Ward, a Pasadena, California resident (1898-1991) began taking art classes as a way of coping with the death of one of her sons in 1939 from a fatal blood disease. Encouraged by a professor, she began making ceramics out of her garage in 1942. As with all of the great mid-century pottery companies of the time, Florence Ceramics pieces were copied by mass producers. The Ward family had to actually initiate a lawsuit to stop the influx of inferior copies; however, in the end, the flood of cheap imitations into the market could not be stopped completely and Florence found it increasingly difficult to compete in the marketplace. In 1964, following the death of her husband, Clifford Ward, the company was sold to Scripto.Free shipping, no international bids, please. Thank you.
