Circa 1951-1959: The largest of a set of five variations of open jugs that pottery designer Frederick Rhead experimented with, the Fiesta 2-Pint jug is a delight. The great circular shaped handle which is now so universally recognized as fiestaware was molded into this piece and integrates into the body of the pot with fabulously understated, art-deco like scalloped elements. Subtle rings adorn the edges of the handle along with the top rim of the pot and out and over the spout. It is these great details that keep Fiesta so enticing today. This example in the 1950s forest green glaze is in excellent condition, without damage or signs of use. No scratches and a well applied glaze make this an exceptional example. Marked on the bottom under the thick glaze reads "HLCo fiesta MADE IN U.S.A." Measures 4 1/4" h x 8 1/2" w from tip of spout to back of handle.
