Description: EXQUISITE CENTAUR and CENTAURETTES#23, #24, & #31 VERNON KILNS 1940 Englishman George Poxon established the Poxon. China Company at Vernon, California, in 1912 to manufacture floor tiles and art pottery. He prospered until the Great Depression when he sold the company to Faye G. Bennison in 1931. One of the first things that Bennison did was to change the name to Vernon Kilns. Two major lines of pottery were established, dinnerware and specialty items. An art-ware department was established in the mid 1930’s. Vernon Kilns was a Disney licensee from October 10, 1940 to July 22, 1942 when they assigned all rights, inventory, and molds to Evan K. Shaw’s American Pottery. Each Vernon Kiln figurine has a number incised in the unglazed cavity, plus ink markings stamped, on the bottom in black letters “Disney Copyright 1940” (or 1941) and “Vernon Kilns U.S.A.” In this exceptional and exquisite offering there are three (3) CENTAURETTES. #23 Nubian Centaurette 8” high #24 Nubian Centaurette 7-1/2” high #31 Centaur 10” high All are in excellent condition for vintage. #24 has marking in cavity on one side.
