About the Item
1930s Lapis Blue Art Deco Ceramic Refrigerator Water Jug with Matching Stopper
A stunning example of 1930s Art Deco design, this lapis blue glazed ceramic water jug is both a functional and highly collectible piece of early 20th-century kitchenware. Likely produced by Hall China Company or Oxfordshire, two respected American ceramic manufacturers known for their elegant and durable wares, this piece exemplifies the sleek, geometric aesthetics of the Art Deco movement.
The jug features a distinctive cylindrical body with a cut-out handle, a flat base, and an elegantly tapered spout. The original matching ceramic stopper, rounded for a snug fit, adds to the streamlined silhouette. This type of refrigerator water pitcher was designed to fit neatly into the narrow shelving of vintage iceboxes and early refrigerators—an essential accessory in stylish American kitchens of the 1930s.
Finished in a rich lapis blue high-gloss glaze, the piece offers a striking color that remains vibrant and reflective of the bold color palettes embraced during the Art Deco period.
Condition: Overall excellent vintage condition. There are minor chips to the rim and interior of the stopper, typical of age and use, with the internal chip hidden when the stopper is in place. There is also some minor cork loss, which is common in pieces of this age and does not affect functionality or display quality.
This Art Deco ceramic refrigerator jug is perfect for collectors of vintage American ceramics, 1930s kitchenware, or Art Deco home decor. It’s a rare find that brings both beauty and history into any kitchen or display.

By Hall China
Located in Red Lion, PA
1935 Art Deco Blue Hall China Refrigerator Pitcher with Lid – Made for Westinghouse, Museum Quality
An exceptional example of American Art Deco kitchenware, this 1935 Art Deco refrigerator water pitcher was made exclusively for Westinghouse by the renowned Hall China Company of East Liverpool, Ohio. Stamped clearly on the base, the mark reads: “Made Exclusively for WESTINGHOUSE By / The Hall China Co. MADE IN U.S.A.”—a detail that speaks to the collaboration between innovative appliance manufacturers and American ceramic producers during the golden age of modern design.
This pitcher showcases a curved geometric Art Deco silhouette, with smooth, streamlined contours and a functional yet elegant matching lid, both finished in a rich, vibrant solid blue glaze. The style reflects the modernist ideals of the period—sleek, stylish, and made for the evolving needs of 1930s households as refrigeration became a staple in American homes.
Produced as part of a specialized line of refrigerator ware for Westinghouse, this pitcher would have been used to store and serve chilled water. Hall also created a range of complementary pieces, including leftover containers in coordinating styles and colors, making this part of a now highly collectible and historically significant body of work.
What sets this piece apart is its pristine, museum-quality condition—appearing completely unused, with no chips, cracks, crazing, or signs of wear except the most minimal wear at the base. It's a truly rare find for collectors of vintage Hall China...
