Fitz & Floyd China

Fitz & Floyd was founded by Pat Fitzpatrick and Bob Floyd in Dallas in 1960. Initially starting off as an import company, it was not long until they started to design and create their own ceramic products. Today, they are known for their elaborate and original designs which range in theme from witty to elegant. In 1990, Fitz & Floyd began producing special and limited edition items which have proven to be very popular with collectors.

Though Fitz & Floyd produced a large array of products, some of their most popular were the Charming Tails Figurines. These figurines depict woodland creatures in real life situations. The series was started in 1992 and was designed by artist Dean Griff. Their teapots and cookie jars are also very popular, with a range of designs including birds, buildings, and famous figures, as well as more humorous designs.
