📖 Description
This is a vintage 1962 Metlox Poppytrail oval serving platter in the discontinued “Provincial Flower” pattern.
Made in California, USA, by the iconic Metlox Pottery, this piece features a hand-painted folk art floral design in earthy tones of orange, green, and brown, framed by a wide caramel band. Crafted of durable earthenware ceramic, the platter is both functional and decorative—perfect for serving or display.
The Provincial Flower pattern, introduced in 1962, was part of Metlox’s beloved Poppytrail line, known for its rustic charm and mid-century modern folk-art styling. Discontinued in the 1970s, pieces from this line are now collectible and increasingly hard to find, especially larger serving pieces like this one.
