George Poxon founded Poxon China in Vernon, California, on the southern edge of Los Angeles in 1912. He was a graduate of Staffordshire Technical College in England and started out making small tiles and some art pottery moving on to hotel and restaurant ware around the beginning of World War I. In 1931, the Great Depression caused Poxon to sell out to Faye G. Bennison, who changed the name of the company to Vernon Kilns (sometimes known as "Vernon Potteries"). Walt Disney signed a contract with Vernon Kilns on Oct. 10, 1940, to design figures based on Disney's movies — Dumbo, The Reluctant Dragon and Fantasia.The figures made by Vernon Kilns were produced from the actual models used in making the films. They are marked in black ink and copyrighted in 1940 or 1941 and each has a style or stock number. Vernon Kilns made Fantasia-theme bowls, vases and dinnerware.
