Circa 1937-1950: The largest of a set of five variations of open jugs that pottery designer Frederick Rhead experimented with, the Fiesta 2-Pint jug was the final version selected for production. 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 supporting it at handles base. 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 make Fiestaware so cherished. This example in the vintage ivory glaze is in excellent condition without damage. Please note some light staining on the base of the foot which doesn't show when upright. Marked in the mold "H.L.C. fiesta MADE IN U.S.A." Measures 4 1/4" tall by an impressive 8 1/2" long to the end of the ring handle.
