Great hot display and useful item for the vintage kitchen. Made by Universal Potteries, primarily for Sears & Roebuck, "Cattail" refers to the decal treatment. Other dinnerware lines carried the Cattail decal, which was also applied to such metal kitchen items as bread boxes, trash cans, etc.
The ball jug is a rare item (much more common to find the canteen shaped jug) and to have the stopper and most of the cork makes it even a rarer piece.
Condition: no chips, no cracks, very clean front and back. Light crazing throughout--but does not have dirt in the crazing--reads very clean--please look over pics carefully. Decals in very good condition. Good gold mark on base. 6 3/4" tall to the top of the stopper.
I have been dealing in American glass, pottery, and dinnerware for over 35 years. 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.
Please convo if you have questions or desire additional pictures.8
