Circa 1937-1942 and 1959-1969: Unlike the large teapots where many pieces had to be attatched by hand, the medium sized teapot, like an enlarged mustard jar, utilizes a one part mold for the lid, resulting in a straight knob and perfect proportions every time. The large C handle, similar to the ice lip pitchers, and the round bulbus shape familar across the line are just a couple of the many features that are consistent across the fiestaware line. This example in the hard to find red glaze is in excellent condition without signs of use or damage and a great even and rich glaze without mishap. Marked in the mold on the base "HLC fiesta MADE IN U.S.A." Measures 8 1/2" w x 5 1/8" h.
