About Hyalyn:

The Hyalyn pottery was founded in Hickory, North Carolina, in 1947 by Leslie Moody (educated at Ohio State University in Columbus, then associated with Abingdon, San Jose Pottery, and Rookwood before starting his own company). Moody was general manager of Hyalyn Porcelain, Incorporated, until his death in 1973 (and president between 1965 and 1973). The name "Hyalyn" is Mrs. Frances Moody's spelling variation on the word "hyaline."

Hyalyn's first product line was made only about 2 years (in 1947-1948) and featured stylized underglaze freehand decorations. Until the mid 1970s, Hyalyn pieces were high-fired with a white clay body. They often show the influence of Charles and Ray Eames and other designers of the Mid-Century Modern period. From the beginning, the company also made a complete line of decal-decorated products. Trademarks were periodically changed, and styles changed with the times. So these hints can be useful in dating many Hyalyn products.
