About the Item

1980s Memphis Style Ceramic Pitcher – White with Black Handle, by Mann Manhattan This striking 1980s ceramic pitcher embodies the bold, sculptural spirit of both the Memphis design movement and Art Deco revival styles of the late 20th century. Finished in a clean, glossy white glaze, the pitcher features a beautifully executed geometric step design, paired with a solid black stepped handle that adds striking contrast and architectural appeal. Stamped “Mann Manhattan MCMLXXX” on the base and retaining its original “Mann MCMLXXXII Japan” sticker, this pitcher reflects the era’s fascination with playful form, contrasting tones, and postmodern design influences. The stepped motif is a nod to Art Deco architecture, reinterpreted through a Memphis design lens — making it both a collectible and functional work of art. Perfect as a decorative display piece, vase, or even a bold accent in a modern kitchen or dining room, this piece is a timeless statement of 1980s postmodern design.

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...
