John Frank purchased a<br>Muskogee, Oklahoma company named Synar Ceramics in September, 1957, eventually<br>naming it Gracetone in December. He designed a new line of dinnerware named<br>Orbit, the name based on a circular motif. Many of the original Synar pieces<br>continued production. Unfortunately the company did not meet expectations, so<br>Frank closed it in May, 1962.<br><br>Frank's associate J.C. Taylor purchased the company, along with its assets, to<br>continue production with a reduced number of items. He eventually decided to<br>stop production entirely in February, 1967.
