Circa 1936-1946: The rich ivory vellum glaze shows well on the large vintage Fiestaware half gallon ice lip pitcher, which, interestingly, was designed to reflect the shape of the tiny lidded mustard jar in an endeavor to add coherence to the dinnerware line. The ice lip's beefy hand applied C handle was perfect for hoisting 64 ounces of ice water, sweet tea, or lemonade, and the pitcher's spout held back the ice, allowing for a nice, clean pour.
