DeForest of California was a business run by Jack and Margaret Deforest from 1950-1970. During that time, and mostly in the mid-1950s until about 1961, they produced some of the most unique and whimsical kitchenware ever made. Some pieces, such as the veggie and food shaped condiments, were mass produced and are still rather easy to come by; others, like their wall pockets and cylindar shaped jars, are much rarer.

A Wonderful addition to any collection!
