In 1910, William Fulper hired ceramic engineer Martin Stangl to develop new Vasekraft glazes and shapes. While the original Vasekraft line featured Oriental inspired shapes and glazes, Martin Stangl's shapes were Arts & Crafts styled and his glazes earthy and organic. In 1924, William Fulper appointed Martin Stangl vice president of the company. Martin Stangl did not purchase Fulper Pottery Company in 1930, nor was the company name changed to Stangl Pottery in 1930, as is so often surmised.

The company continued as Fulper Pottery Co.until it was finally incorporated as Stangl Pottery Company on December 18, 1955.
