Vintage '50s Frankoma Plainsman Pitcher/Jug with Cork #835 Brown Glossy 8" high
Product Details
Here is a vintage 1950s Frankoma #835 Plainsman Pitcher/Jug with Cork. It is brown with a glossy finish. My best guess is that this piece dates to the 1950s based on the impressed marking (Frankoma 835) and the color of the clay on the bottom of the jug . It measures approximately 8 tall by 4.5 wide and holds 24 oz. It is in excellent vintage condition. I see a mark on the bottom that could either be a scratch or a crack mark, but there is no actual crack (last 2 photos). It was hard for me to get a photo without flash marks, so I wanted to point out that there is a circular dot on the right side of the jug that is part of the pattern and is not a flash mark! (photos 2, 6, 7).
