Pacific Pottery Hostessware launched in 1932 as a way for Pacific Clay to stop the bleeding from their commercial pipe, brick and tile business during the Depression. Seeing the success their neighbor, Bauer Pottery, Pacific jumped into the colored dinnerware and pottery market.

During the ten years that Pacific produced Hostessware, it became the largest dinnerware line of any pottery with close to 200 different pieces! While the distinctive ring pattern is derivative of Bauer’s ringware line, Pacific made the style their own and the two lines differ dramatically in look and feel. The breadth of the line is pretty amazing, ranging from an extensive amount of individual pieces to serveware, hostessware, kitchenware, and bakeware.
