Frankoma pottery is a type of pottery that was created by an American potter named Frankoma. The pottery was first produced in the early 1930s and was made using a type of clay that was found in Oklahoma. The pottery was created in a variety of colors, but the most common color was a brownish-red.
The pottery was lead-free, but it did contain small amounts of uranium. The uranium gave the pottery a glaze that made it appear shiny and more colorful. The pottery was popular for a time, but eventually the uranium began to leach out of the glaze and into the food and drink that was stored in the pottery. This led to health problems for some people who used the pottery.
The pottery is no longer produced, but there are still many pieces of Frankoma pottery in existence. If you have any of this pottery, it is best to not use it for
