FRANKLIN MINT PORCELAIN: The Franklin Mint was founded in the mid-1960s IN THE USA to produce collectibles. Ceramics included bisque (unglazed porcelain) statues of wildlife, birds and flowers.
The Mint marketed their products as investments which the buyer could enjoy over time as the value of the object increased. The company advertised in many magazines for the general public, indicating that the objects for sale were being made in "limited" quantities, and that once the run was completed the molds would be destroyed, guaranteeing the buyer a collectible.
Although the company still exists in name, the Franklin Mint's heyday of production is over.
