Draper Dishware

I noticed the green and brown stoneware type dishes used by Betty Draper in her home. She and her friend drank coffee out of the cups, and she served dinner to her kids on the plates.

Does anyone know the type of pottery the dishes were? Possibly Frankoma?

Thank you so much for the information. How did you ever find this out?

Vernonware is collectable pottery and dinnerware made by the Vernon Kilns which were located in Vernon, California, during the 30's, 40's, and 50's.
