Brayton Mid Century Ceramic Box

About the Item

Mid Century Brayton Laguna Ceramic Keep Sake Box. Rich solid black glaze accented with metallic gold glaze having a simple rectangular shape with circular detail. Art Deco Mid Century design hand made. Top is removable. In very good condition. Brayton Laguna Pottery > 1927 - 1968, Durlin Brayton 1898 -1951 Durlin Brayton, a graduate of the Chicago Art Institute and self-employed carpenter, bought a kiln and built a small ceramics workshop out of his home in Laguna Beach, California Brayton Laguna is considered to be one of the first California potteries to produce the solid color dinnerware lines. By the late 1930s, Brayton Laguna’s focus was primarily on artware and hand-decorated figurines. At their highest capacity in the 1940s Brayton employed 150 artists, designers and potters. They became the first pottery company licensed by The Walt Disney Company to produce figurines based on Disney characters. After World War II ended and tariff restrictions lifted, cheap imports from Europe and Japan begin flooding the market. Adding to the economic problems faced by the company, Durlin died of a heart attack in 1951. Struggling with increased competition for the giftware market, and loss of leadership, business declined. The company closed their doors in 1968. Brayton has come to be collected for certain items and styles of the mid century modern period.
