This cutie belongs to my mom, who no longer has a need for it, nor do I. The colorfully gorgeous high relief fruit motif on this pitcher from Blue Ridge will put a smile on your face every time you see or use it! Crafted sometime in the 1940s and in excellent vintage condition with no signs of use wear and as vibrant as ever. This pattern is not to be found anywhere other than this pitcher, which has golden grapes; a “sister” pitcher that is smaller has purple grapes. It measures -7¼” high; 6¾ ” wide (from spout to handle tip) ; top opening diameter -4½” x 3¼” L/W; capacity 52 oz.; weight 1.9 lbs.; crafted from hand painted bisque china; the pattern is a lively mix of colored fruits (golden grapes, purple plums, red apples, tan pears) with assorted green leaves. Made in Erwin, TN.
Thanks for looking!
The “Magic” Behind Vintage Southern Potteries Blue Ridge China
The history behind this unique style of pottery is a great American story about a once thriving company in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Erwin, Tennessee, which officially began in the early 1900s. The business was sold in the 1920s and became known as Southern Potteries. In 1938, the company began making their popular line of Blue Ridge pottery and dishes. The use of a method of hand painting the earthenware before the final glaze was fired, resulted in vibrant colors. Trained by the pottery to produce the brush strokes and techniques to be used for each pattern, local women (and a few men) fashioned leaves, stems, flowers, scenes and animals commonly seen in Blue Ridge patterns, giving the dishes a whimsical, less formal appearance. Part of the charm is that no two pieces are 100% alike. It is believed that Blue Ridge Southern Potteries created between 4,000 and 5,000 different patterns, however, most of the records have been lost or destroyed over the years. Another quirky fact, Southern Potteries didn't name the patterns because they operated basically on a numbering system. Most of the patterns have been given names by collectors over the years. Therefore, you might have a description in a reference guide that refers to a pattern by one name and then find the same design in another source listed with a different name. Sadly, the company closed its doors in 1957.
