Universal buy Cambridge, Covered Water Pitcher, Calico Fruit Decals

Item description: From a 1949 ad featuring Calico Fruit:
EMPHASIZE COLOR AS WELL AS UTILITY IN YOUR KITCHEN... choose this gay Calico Fruit Ovenware to match your other Calico Fruit Kitchen accessories [the accessories included metal canisters and some glassware]. The vivid patchwork of colors is predominately blue, red and yellow on a background of ivory-white. Made of semi-porcelain -- a durable, practical ware that is heatproof... coldproof... and acid resisting. Designed for a variety of uses... oven-to-table serving, mixing as well as storing left-overs in the refrigerator.

Size: 7 1/4" tall with lid on, 7" wide, 4" deep

Condition: This piece is unlike any other Universal Calico piece I've ever seen. There is no crazing whatsoever on the base and only very tiny amounts on the lid. This has led to one tiny discoloration spot near where your thumb rests on the lid. The decals look brand new. There really is no evidence that this was ever used. No chips, no cracks, no staining, no hairlines, etc.


I have been dealing in American glass, pottery, and dinnerware for over 35 years buy. You can be assured that the items for sale are in the condition described and identified to the best of my ability.

I pack all items very carefully and double-box if merited. I work hard to keep shipping costs to a minimum and if I have overestimated costs I will refund directly to you. In most cases I tend to underestimate the cost of shipping absorbing that additional cost. I ship within 1-3 business days and when combined with other orders shipping discounts may apply. My shipping prices are based on the measurements and weight of my pieces and what the USPS fees are for similar measurements.
