Shawnee Pottery was started in August of 1937 in the former American Encaustic facility in Zanesville, Ohio. At first they made decorative items like figurines, cookie jars, flower pots, novelty items and vases and sold them at very low prices at the "five and dime" stores. However, when Sears Roebuck and Company asked Shawnee Pottery to design a line of dinnerware known as Valencia, (1938 to 1940), exclusively for their stores, their brand grew and they became a very successful company. In 1941 they released their White Corn line that proved so popular, the pattern was slightly changed in 1946, to brighter yellow kernels, named Corn King, and the line expanded to include mugs, cereal bowls, relish trays, butter dishes, and lidded casserole and much more. Unfortunately, due to increased foreign competition after WWII, sales declined. The business was finally closed in 1961. One of their most coveted items, the Shawnee cookie jars, remain highly collectible and priced accordingly.
