The founder, Lesley Winfield Sample, died in 1939 and the pottery was taken over by Margaret M. Gabriel and her husband. Winfield Pottery was overwhelmed with orders for dinnerware after World War II, so in 1946 it licensed the name 'Winfield' and 450 of its molds to American Ceramic Products Co. of Santa Monica, Calif. From 1946 to 1962, when it closed, Winfield Pottery marked its wares 'Gabriel Pasadena.' Any dish marked 'Winfield China' was manufactured by American Ceramic Products, not by Winfield Pottery. American Ceramic Products became Winfield China Co. in 1959. The Pasadena production pieces were hand signed on the unglazed bottom "Gabriel Pasadena." Finding a piece with the Gabriel signature is pretty rare. Condition: Pre-Owned Like New
