Granite Ware
Read More5 1/8" tall, old red & white medium swirl, white interior, dark cobalt blue trim, seamless body, rivited handle. Extremely rare color, shape and size. According to Helen Greguire, the author of the "The Collectors Guide to Granite Ware" books this is the only one known to exist. Cautionary note on this. Bought this one sight unseen from the daughter of a well known collector who described it as mint perfect. And Helen confirmed that it was the last time she had seen it. But when it arrived we found two significant chips on the inside bottom. To summarize the sellers response... tough, I have the money now. Amazing! Still a great piece though without issues on the outside.
Squatty-shaped, cobalt blue & white large swirl with white interior, black trim, riveted handles, black wood knob, seamless boy. Extremely rare color and shape. Note the tan at the very bottom is wax holding the piece down, not a defect. Just some protection from our playful cats.
