Shawnee Flower and Fern Miniature Ball Jug Yellow Pitcher 1940s to 1950s
$24.99
This Shawnee Flower and Fern ball jug pitcher is a bright yellow mid-century pottery piece made in the United States during the late 1940s to 1950s.
The rim has no flea bites, the handle is solid, and the glossy yellow glaze remains bright. Fine glaze crazing and light surface lines are visible in places, with ordinary wear around the unglazed base ring.
The rounded ball-jug shape, pouring spout, embossed flower medallions, and fern details give it plenty of presence for a vintage kitchen pottery display.
