Description:

Add a gorgeous pop of mid-century nostalgia to your holiday table with this vibrant, vintage 1970 ceramic Christmas bell platter.

This piece features an incredibly rich, thick, glossy red glaze with fine dark speckling that beautifully catches the light. The center is incised with a festive triple-bell, holly leaf and ribbon design.

This is a wonderful piece of authentic 1970s American holiday pottery. The back is hand-incised by the original maker, "Joyce '70", and shows standard vintage kiln stilt marks. The glaze work is exceptionally clean and well-executed, reminiscent of the popular mid-century art pottery glazes of the era.

• Condition: Beautiful vintage condition. No  cracks, damage or heavy wear. The glaze remains incredibly shiny and bright. However, it appears this item was chipped on one side prior to painting and firing. This is considered a manufacturing flaw versus damage and does not distract from the display value of this dish. This flaw can be seen in the last photo.

• Measurements: 10 1/2 inches long x 10 1/2 inches wide x 1 1/4 inches in height.

• Item Weight: 2 lbs 3.6 oz (Unpacked)

Perfect for serving holiday treats like candy, cookies or snacks.  A wonderful addition to any retro Christmas decor collection. Please hand wash only to maintain the beautiful red glaze.
