Set of Four "Strip Tease- Eye Appeal" Ceramic Barware Mugs by Dorothy Kindell
About the Item
A fabulous set of four "Strip Tease- Eye Appeal" ceramic barware mugs by Dorothy Kindell, circa 1940s. This hard to find set (black dress) is in very good vintage condition (some minor crazing is present) and each mug measures approximately 5"W x 3.5"D x 6.25"H. Each piece shows a beautiful woman in various stages of undress. #4159
Dorothy Kindell Studios of California produced this line of "Strip Tease" or as they were officially known "Eye Appeal Barware". Today Dorothy is familiar to many as "The Naughty Potter" because of the pottery line she developed. This barware featured nude or stripping ladies as the handle design. Dorothy Kindell’s work is considered the "holy grail" of naughty barware. She originally began her studio during wartime after supplies for her husband’s plumbing business were diverted for the war effort. However, Dorothy’s combination of boundary pushing designs and a good head for business blossomed into a mini-empire in no time at all, so successful in fact she was able to retire to a horse ranch by the late 50’s. Almost the entirety of Dorothy’s history was clouded in mystery until an L.A. Magazine article was published in 2010 revealing a great deal of her past; thanks to the efforts of author Christa Faust and oddly, former Go-Go’s singer Jane Wiedlin.
This is truly a classic set and would make a great addition to any bar or man cave! Please see our other Dorothy Kindell ceramics listings.
