In November 2020, Mayco acquired the ceramic color division of Duncan Enterprises. Duncan Enterprises was founded in 1946 by Erma Duncan, a talented artist whose fired-art creations earned national recognition beginning in the early 1900s. Her passion for quality, reliability, and innovation has made the Duncan brand a leader in the Ceramic Arts industry for 75 years; a legacy that Mayco is honored to continue. The next chapter of Duncan is represented with the Best of Duncan assortment, which is comprised of the most popular Duncan glazes and specialty products. The following products are part of the Best of Duncan Fired and Non-Fired palette. The Best of Duncan fired and non-fired assortments are manufactured, sold, and marketed through Mayco’s established worldwide distribution network.
