McCarty Brothers Pottery, established in the early 1940s, is an iconic representation of World War II and Mid-Century decor. Founded by siblings William and Walter McCarty, this pottery studio (based in Sierra Madre, California) played a pivotal role in shaping the aesthetic landscape of its era. During World War II, the brothers repurposed their production to create ceramic military insignia and patriotic-themed items, contributing to the war effort. As the war ended and the Mid-Century design movement took hold, McCarty Brothers Pottery seamlessly transitioned into crafting striking mid-century modern pieces known for their unique glazes and organic forms. The pottery\'s commitment to quality and innovation has made it a cherished relic of this bygone era, embodying the spirit of a nation during wartime and the post-war design renaissance.
