Made in 1928, quintessential Art Deco. Great creamsicle, pastel orange color on this round lidded vessel. The lid has a built-in round pull in the center, and is depressed, giving the top lip very clean lines. This is very versatile and can be used for tons of things, or just display it and let the beauty shine. It is in fact China, not ceramic or porcelain. Made in Alliance, Ohio, by Avco.
Makers Mark:
On the bottom, stamped in ink, in a diamond shape, "VITRIFIED AVCO CHINA" "ALLIANCE" "U.S.A. '28"
Condition: Great for its age. Some wear to the area under the lid. Some color is inconsistent in places, but that's also just part of how it was made to look.
Measurements:
Diameter - 4.25"
Height - 2.5"
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.
