Vernon Kilns was an American ceramic company in Vernon, California. It was started in 1931, by Faye G. Bennison, who purchased the former Poxon China pottery. Vernon produced ceramic tableware, art ware, giftware, and figurines. Vernon Kilns was one of the "Big Five" California potteries. The other "Big Five" potteries were Metlox Manufacturing Company, Pacific Clay Products, Gladding, McBean & Co., and J.A. Bauer Pottery. In 1958, Vernon Kilns closed their pottery due to mounting labor costs and competition from foreign imports. Metlox Manufacturing Company of Manhattan Beach, California, bought the molds and continued to manufacture some of Vernon's patterns in their Vernonware division.
