Duncan Enterprises was a cornerstone of the ceramic arts industry for over 75 years, though it has undergone significant changes recently. Here is a breakdown of the manufacturer's details:

Company History

Founding: Founded in 1946 by Erma Duncan in Fresno, California. It grew from a home-based studio into a global leader in ceramic arts.

The "iLoveToCreate" Era: In 2009, the company rebranded to iLoveToCreate to reflect its expansion into broader craft categories like tie-dye and adhesives.
Recent Acquisition: In November 2020, the ceramic color division of Duncan was acquired by Mayco Colors. Mayco now produces the "Best of Duncan" line, including many of their most popular glazes.

Core Product Lines

Duncan is best known for its high-quality, reliable ceramic finishes. Their products are often divided into two main categories:

Fired Products: This includes their famous Envision Glazes, E-Z Stroke Underglazes, and Concepts underglazes. These require a kiln to reach their final finish.
Non-Fired Products: Products like Bisq-Stain Acrylics and Ultra Metallics are used for decorative pieces that do not need to be re-fired after painting.
Molds & Bisque: Historically, Duncan was a major producer of ceramic molds (like the one used for your rooster spoon rest) and ready-to-paint bisque.

Brand Legacy

Duncan is widely respected for its educational programs. They established "Duncan University" and a certification program for ceramics instructors (Duncan Ambassadors), which helped standardize ceramic techniques for hobbyists and professionals worldwide.
