The largest of five open pitchers that designer Frederik Rhead experimented with, the two pint jug was released by the summer of 1936 and continued in production until the 1959. The ring handle is the highlight of the piece and appears larger than on any other fiestaware shape. Earlier versions will have the number 5 molded into the bottom (a nod to the five experimental sizes) and all will have a dry white, unglazed base. A charming piece, the open pitcher can be found in ten original fiesta colors.
Circa 1937-1942: The red two pint jug was only made for a short handful of years before the glaze was discontinued making this color one of the hardest to find on this great shaped open jug. This example is the early version with the inscribed "5" on the bottom.
