Leslie Moody and Frances Johnson Moody never owned the company outright, but their dreams shaped North Carolina's Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. and drove it forward to the satisfaction of an emerging, increasingly modern post-World War II America. Hyalyn's reputation for high quality led to its association with top designers like Michael and Rosemary Lax, Eva Zeisel, Georges Briard, Charles Leslie Fordyce, Herbert Cohen, Erwin Kalla, and Esta Brodey. Before moving to North Carolina in 1945, ceramic engineer and designer Less Moody prepared to organize and operate Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. From Zanesville's Mosaic Tile Company, Ohio State University's ceramics department, Love Field Pottery, Abingdon Pottery, San José Potteries, and Rookwood Pottery, he gained expertise in clay formulation, glaze chemistry, product design, plant operation, project planning, advertising, and employee management. With the aid of investors, his dream came true when, in 1946, Hyalyn's first lamp bases and flower containers emerged from the shop's tunnel kiln. Thoroughly documented and illustrated with 425 images, hyalyn: America's Finest Porcelain is a complete history of Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc., and its successors, Hyalyn Cosco, Hyalyn, Ltd., and Vanguard Studios"--Page 4 of cover. 610 20 Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. |xHistory. |=^A1438011 650 0 Porcelain industry |zNorth Carolina |xHistory. |=^A849544 650 0 Porcelain, American |zNorth Carolina |y20th century |vPictorial works. |=^A85157 650 7 Porcelain, American. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01071723 650 7 Porcelain industry. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01071714 651 7 North Carolina. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204304 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Pictorial works. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423874 830 0 America through time. |=^A1278687 938 Brodart |bBROD |n129616974 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n17463708 949 NK4428.H93 C66 2021 |hJOYNER89 |ojdjr |i30372017526085 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 5814481
