Toleware reached its height of popularity in America in the 18th century, and then saw a brief revival in the 1950s that lasted more than a decade.
During the 1950s and 1960s, American companies such as Plymouth, Nashco, Pilgrim, and Fine Arts Studio produced reproduction toleware pieces, particularly trays, that were then hand painted in an assembly line manner. Painters used the distinctive one stroke method where a brush was “loaded” with one or more colors of acrylic paint and applied to the metal in a single stroke, creating both light and shade on flower petals, leaves or other decoration. These “studio trays” were painted by accomplished artists then hand lacquered for a lasting finish.
