    Description

    8 1/2 inches tall, marked California Faience
    green glossy glaze that looks iridescent when tipped to the light
    The piece shows regular use with lots of little scratches to the outside, including on the spout edge. There are no chips or cracks or crazing. The inside looks clean. The glaze looks like the same green iridescent glaze on the smaller pitcher I am currently listing.
    Kirby Brown's  California Faience book calls this shape pitcher # 303.
    My folks lived in the Bay Area so of course near the West Coast Porcelain Manufacturers facility. Pieces of California Porcelain, California Faience and other pieces produced in the facility were something that they regularly found at flea markets back in the day.
    I am listing more of the pitchers, a couple of tumblers and some of the deco dogs in current auctions.
    I can ship this piece either medium flat rate or standard priority. See shipping for both options.
    Everything on my hmnpwr site and my sister's 2vegburg site is from our parent's collections. They started collecting in the early 70's, mainly in the San Francisco Bay Area at the flea markets, shows, auctions, estate sales but they also traveled to LA or east to buy and sell. Their interests were mostly early American to midcentury American and Scandinavian ceramics. They also collected tableware, concentrating on California production. We regularly list new pieces that have been stored away for decades.
    If for any reason you are not satisfied, just contact me; I accept returns and will pay shipping both ways.
