Circa 1938-1940: Maroon was one of the original four colored glazes in the Harlequin pottery line. Although 12 colors would be dipped on the Harlequin shape over its near 30 year run, the original four colors hold a special place in the collectors heart, with spruce and maroon being in high demand as they were discontinued first and were the lines shortest running glazes. The teapot shape is one of the showcase pieces of the line and is a treat to find dipped in the early, original color of maroon. Note that the teapot was not part of the original line, making the maroon example one of the hardest to find versions of them all. This example is in excellent condition and will please any collector. Measures nearly 10" from handle to spout and over 6" tall the teapot holds 34.5oz.
