Description
This sale is for a mid-century, small 2-cup carafe / pitcher made byPurinton Pottery
. Originally based in Ohio, the company moved to Shippenville, Pennsylvania in 1941. The Purintons produced pottery with lovely hand-painted designs on creamy white clay in many creative shapes and design patterns.
They were pioneers because they used a wide variety of multicolored free brush patterns, but the designs and forms used of their molds were original and unique. The
company was liquidated in 1959. This Purinton piece is hand-decorated with their
APPLE
/
PEAR
design. There are no chips, but lots of crazing to the glaze inside and out, especially towards the bottom of the piece. Overall the piece is in very good condition. The pitcher measures 4 and 1/2 inches high and wide, and about 6 inches front to handle. The empty weight is 13 ounces.
