Frankoma was founded in 1933 in Norman, Oklahoma, by John Frank, who was a professor of ceramics at the University of Oklahoma from 1927 to 1936. The name Frankoma was derived from "Frank" plus the last three letters of "Oklahoma". Frank moved the company to Sapulpa in 1938.
First created as affordable, everyday dinnerware and serving pieces. The earthenware pieces’ distinctive terra cotta look and colorful glazing reflect the western styling of Oklahoma’s craft heritage.
