Peggy Jean Nagel California Pottery Covered Box Fused Glass Lid Hand Built

Description

Description:
A wonderful covered pottery box by Peggy Jean Nagel. Press molded reddish clay construction, with white glaze on lid and interior. Unsure the purpose, could be used as a cigarette box or for trinkets. Lid also has a great fused crackle glass center, with small purple, red and orange accents. Box is very reminiscient of some Italian pieces distributed by Rosenthal Netter, but this is from a California potter likely in the 1960s. Signed on bottom with "Peggy J Nagel".
Condition:
In good vintage condition with no cracks or damage, but there is a 1/4" chip flake on the edge of the lid. Some crazing to the white glaze. Box itself is hand formed so it has many crevices and holes.
Measurements:
Measures about
9 1/2" by 3 3/4" wide, 2 1/4" tall.
