Made in 1929, quintessential Art Deco decor. Semi-matte glaze, made of China. Two colors available. One is a spectacular bright green - like grass green. The other is a violet color. The lid is a perfect circle, and the vessel itself is a perfect square. Wonderful juxtaposition there, creates a stunning piece. Classic, bold and interesting, don't hesitate to add one or both of these to your collection.
They are very versatile and can be used for tons of things, or simply display them and let the beauty shine. It is in fact China, not ceramic or porcelain. Made in Alliance, Ohio, by Avco.

Everything from My Home on Mars has been professionally cleaned and restored, and ships with a care sheet specific to the material and time period of each piece. Most things require no special maintenance, but a simple list of "do's and don'ts" ensures your item maintains its condition for years to come.
In addition to being a vintage dealer, I am a USPAP-compliant personal property appraiser. Part of that job, separate from this one, is determining the value and authenticity of every piece I examine. I'm proud to bring that high standard of ethics, expertise, and research skills to My Home on Mars, allowing peace of mind for all my customers.
