Gracetone Pottery was produced from 1959 to 1967. John Frank purchased a
Muskogee, Oklahoma company named Synar Ceramics in September, 1957, eventually
naming it Gracetone in December. He designed a new line of dinnerware named
Orbit, the name based on a circular motif. Many of the original Synar pieces
continued production. Unfortunately the company did not meet expectations, so
Frank closed it in May, 1962.

Frank's associate J.C. Taylor purchased the company, along with its assets, to
continue production with a reduced number of items. He eventually decided to
stop production entirely in February, 1967.
