Firefligh welcome  I have found 2 obituaries of women who worked for Robyn's ceramics -Laura Fay (Uhrhammer) White was born in Minnesota Feb. 4, 1912 and passed away July 19, 2010 at age 98 surrounded by family. She worked at the old lemon packing house and at Robyn Sykking’s Ceramics.    -  Robyn Audrey Sikking, 93, died Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2005, at Life Care Center Escondido.Born Nov. 9, 1911, in Los Angeles, she lived in Idyllwild for 60 years. She lived in Fallbrook for 13 years previously. She was a ceramic designer and manufacturer for Robyn's Ceramics in Fallbrook.  I also found this collectors club The Sleeping Indian Questers with a club president who collects your angel figurines by by Robyn's Ceramics  -  Club president Connie Knutson has collection of whimsical angels and other figurines from the 1940s and '50s by Robyn's Ceramics, a Fallbrook business. You could try & contact her as she may have more information,

Good luck & let us know what you discover ;D

No luck on the answer with the historical society, apparently they preserve and are knowledgable only with real estate so try number two

I just saw your post about your "sweetheart" Bride angel by Robyn.  I know it was years ago, but maybe you will get this.  My grandmother and grandfather worked for Robyn in the early/mid 1950s.  Emile Bernardin would make the molds, he and my grandmother (Ethel Bernardin) would make the ceramics, and then my grandmother would paint them.  They lived in Fallbrook.  Hopefully this will give you some information on what you were asking.  Take care and enjoy.
