Meyer Pottery of Texas, was founded by German immigrants Franz Schultz and his son-in-law, William Meyer in 1887.
They became known for their use of a mustard yellow/green slip known as a Leon Slip glaze. In 1920 sons Frank and Gus Meyer took over the business. Under their leadership Meyer expanded into tourist-ware and other decorative forms as well as their standard utilitarian wares. .
