Betty Lou Nichols is one of the better-known California potters. She closed Betty Lou Ceramics in 1962. She had a book written about her work entitled Head Vases Etc. Emmy Lou is a pretty young girl wearing a cream-colored dress with pink polka dots with a pink bodice.
This product would be a great fit for collectors of California pottery in the 1950s, who appreciate whimsical and colorful designs, especially polka dots.
