He was looking fro a suitable site where he and his brothers, Abraham and Ubaldo, could start a pottery works. Here, at the bend of what was then called La Jolla Canyon Road and which was the main route to Los Angeles, he found potter's gold, the perfect clay deposit, otherwise known as "barro." He purchased the property and he and his brothers established the La Jolla Canyon Clay Products Company and built it and their houses here. Their families and their company flourished. They produced handmade roof tiles, unglazed floor tiles, unglazed floor tiles and adobe brick for more than 20 years. Tiles used in the restoration of Mission San Diego de Alcala, the construction of the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club and La Jolla's Mary Star of the Sea church from here as did the roof tiles of numberous houses of the Mission Revival architectural period. In the 1950s the brothers were no longer able to use the large oil-fired kiln of earlier days. Many in the large family moved but Abraham and Cornelio lived out their days here. Cornelio and his wife, Matiana, continued making pots and other clay products ona amore limited scale. Using hand-dug clay shaped on a potter's wheel and fired in a circular wood-burning kiln of ancient Roman design, they supplied the community with unique pottery and delighted generations of shcool chilcedr with deomnstrations of their skill. All that remains of the original tile works is the old wood-burning kiln, which continued in use until the 1980s.
