In the early 20th century Harold Horine invented a process to create concrete vessels without an exterior mold. He decorated the forms in drippy swirls of bright colors and called them Como-Craft, after nearby Lake Taneycomo. The pots, which Horine sold from a roadside stand, gained popularity among tourists, and eventually Harold exported the production process to other regions—for a fee. For a reported $500, a person could get instruction from Harold Horine himself, and set up their own version of his workshop with an exclusive license to make and sell the pottery within a defined area. Today, Como-Craft style pieces pop up all around the United States, from Missouri to Arizona to Oregon, thanks to the regional makers Harold trained and licensed.

Harold Horine’s work eventually came to be known as “Ozark Roadside Tourist Pottery” regardless of geographic origin. less
