We didn't have China. We had Frankoma pottery. Brown with a frothy edge to
it. Reminded me of root beer. Everything was an odd shape. We ate on the
BBQ plates for special occasions. I hated them. They were huge and
unwieldy. I have searched for pics but can't find any. Can find Frankoma.
Just not those.
