1935 Pristine Art Deco Blue Hall China Ceramic Refrigerator Pitcher with Lid

1935 Pristine Art Deco Blue Hall China Ceramic Refrigerator Pitcher with Lid

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...

Victorian FJ Emery Brown Transferware Sussex Pattern Pitcher and 16" Basin
Victorian FJ Emery Brown Transferware Sussex Pattern Pitcher and 16" Basin

Victorian FJ Emery Brown Transferware Sussex Pattern Pitcher and 16" Basin

By Emery

Located in Cincinnati, OH

This Aesthetic Movement brown transferware Sussex pattern earthenware pitcher and basin set was made by FJ Emery of Burslem, England, in operation from 1878 to 1894. The pitcher and basin feature large cartouches bearing swallows in flight over moonlit waves. The decoration includes flower-filled cartouches and wide bands with trailing flowers above and below, along with Japanese-influenced Aesthetic motifs. The exterior of the basin has three large floral and foliate groupings, variations of which also appear beneath the lip of the pitcher. The pitcher sports an ornate scrolled handle ornamented with a coordinating band of foliate decor. The basin measures just over 16" across the rim and stands 5" tall. It is 7.75" across the foot rim. The glazed foot bears a backstamp reading "SUSSEX EMERY BURSLEM" indicating the Sussex pattern made by Emery in Burslem, the "Mother Town" of Stoke-on-Trent. It is a substantial piece and weighs 5lbs 12.5oz. The basin is in good condition with signs of use and wear expected in an antique item, including areas of fine age-related crazing with associated discoloration under the glaze and small chips to the underside of the foot rim. Production-related anomalies are present including three stilt marks from the kiln located inside and underneath the basin, an area of glaze pooling with crazing near the foot rim, glaze pops and flecks of material caught in the glaze, a few tight firing cracks that do not carry through the body, and anomalies in the transfer decoration. The pitcher stands 12.75" tall and is 7" across the widest part of the body. It measures 8.75" from the front of the lip to the back of the handle and is 4.5" across the neck as measured at the rim. The foot rim is 4.75" in diameter and bears the same backstamp found on the basin with the addition of the number 1 and the impressed number 22. The piece weighs 4 lbs. The pitcher is in very good condition with signs of use and wear expected in an antique item including a minor chip and shelf wear to the underside of the foot. Common production-related anomalies are present including glaze pops, pooling, and irregularities in the transfer decoration noted for accuracy. This charming Emery Sussex pattern swallow and flower basin and pitcher set displays beautifully and would make a wonderful addition to an existing brown Aesthetic Movement transferware collection or a larger grouping of antique transferware...

Antique French Majolica Pitcher by Saint Clément, Duck Form, 1920

Hand-painted in vibrant glazes of deep blue, green, amber, rust, and yellow, the piece captures the playful naturalism that made Saint Clément one of the most beloved French ceramic manufacturers of the period.

Vintage, New and Antique Pitchers

Perfect for entertaining, a dinner party or a small luncheon, vintage, new and antique pitchers are versatile pieces to keep in any collection.

Whether you’re dining in the great outdoors, freshening up drinks in the living room or making a batch of fresh-squeezed juice for breakfast in the kitchen, a pitcher is a must-have feature of your dining and entertaining set.

Prior to indoor plumbing and the advent of sinks, people paired a pitcher with a wash basin on their bedside stand. Today, an antique washstand might be used as a nightstand or bedside table. These pitchers, along with the washstand, were essential in any bedroom.

Today, in displaying vintage ceramic pitchers on your Welsh kitchen dresser or in a corner cupboard, you’re inviting a pop of color and an alluring texture to mingle with your other serveware. But when entertaining, you’re likely going to put this decorative vessel to work. Some glazed stoneware and metal pitchers are outfitted with hinged lids to provide insulation, while potters and other craft artists at the time might have made complementary glasses or teacups to pair with their pitchers for a complete serving set. Glass and stoneware pitchers are perfect for serving beverages, but if you’re serving from a metal pitcher, you’ll want to ensure that the material is food-grade stainless steel.

For a simple home accent, consider using that wonderfully aging vintage metal pitcher as a vase for your flowers (be sure to use a watertight plastic liner or insert) or as a receptacle to display and organize your cooking utensils. Given the venturesome design sensibility that we associate with mid-century modernism, a mid-century modern pitcher is going to prove a unique and sophisticated decorative touch to any room in your home. While your farmhouse-style interior is practically begging for the earthy tones of a terracotta pitcher, an ironstone pitcher will bring ornate details to your mantel.

Find a collection of new, vintage and antique pitchers today on 1stDibs.
