Vintage Fiesta Disc Water Pitcher in Original Ivory Glaze

Circa 1938-1951: When HLCC designer Frederick Rhead was first putting pen to paper and creating the Fiestaware line, his hope was to develop a shape for colored glazes based upon concentric fluted circles. The Fiesta disc water pitcher is the fruition of this idea, which took over 20 sketches and many models before deciding on the final version. Iconic and classic, the disk water pitcher has become the quintissential Fiestaware shape.

Holloware was made by slipcasting liquid clay into a plaster mold. Seam lines were then smoothed and finished by hand. The pottery was double fired, first as bisque and then again for the glaze in a glost kiln.

This 71 ounce capacity vintage Fiestaware disc water pitcher in the original Original Ivory has survived in excellent collector quality condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs, and, moreover, sports a great even glaze with a nice and shiny impressed bottom mark that reads: "HLC fiesta MADE IN U.S.A."
