In 1977, Dorothy and Harold decided to introduce porcelain products, which was basically new to the area. Porcelain is a much finer grade of ceramics. They started out with Bell Porcelain and have since added Seely Porcelain. Dorothy, Harold, and their oldest daughter, Claudia, learned how to make porcelain dolls and started pouring, cleaning, firing, and teaching others how to make their own porcelain doll. These classes are still being held approximately three times a year.

All the new lines that were added needed additional floor space for display. Because of this and the fact that the greenware for sale was in a different building, they built on an addition. This enabled them to bring all the supplies and greenware for sale under one roof.

History

Ceramichrome and Mayco were their final major distributorships they added. These two companies have since combined to become Coloramics. They are the second largest manufacturer of ceramic products in the nation.
