The operation had been supervised originally by the husband and wife team of Edwin Scheier and Mary Goldsmith. In 1948 the operation was privatized and funded by a private bank. The pottery produced a line of hand crafted terra cotta dinnerware and artware. Common dinnerware shapes were mugs, cups, tumblers, plates, bowls (covered and uncovered), tureens, casserole dishes, trays, teapots and pitchers. Artware shapes included vases of various size, ashtrays, hooded candle holders, planters, incense pots, candelabra and lamp bases.
