This is a vintage Porcelier vitreous china coffee service set featuring their sought-after "Mexican" (also known as the "Santa Fe" or "Vaquero") pattern. This set consists of a central lidded coffee server (or teapot), a matching lidded sugar bowl, and a creamer jug.
Produced by the Porcelier Manufacturing Company from the 1930s until the late 1940s and manufactured at their South Greensburg, Pennsylvania USA facility. Porcelier was famous for its distinctive vitreous china kitchenware. This line was originally designed by in-house designer Karl Kobler and was sold through major retailers like Sears, Roebuck & Co.
The pattern showcases a hand-painted, incised Southwestern motif featuring a stylized desert landscape with a vaquero/cowboy wearing a sombrero next to saguaro cacti.
Two chips were noted to the rim areas of the lid. These can be seen in the photos. Due to this damage, the initial asking price has been lowered. No other chips, cracks, damage or repairs noted. Condition is appropriate to the age of the item.

All vintage pieces have lived another life. Light wear, minor scuffs, or subtle imperfections are to be expected and are part of what makes each item one of a kind. If you’re looking for factory-perfect, brand-new condition, vintage may not be the right fit.
