Vintage DICKOTA Pottery Co. Large Ice Water Pitcher

Description

We are Proud to list a very large Collection of ROSEMEADE, UND SCHOOL OF MINES, DICKOTA, and 3 TRIBES pottery.
This listing is for a hard to find Dickota Pottery Co. 8" Ice Pitcher in mottled Rose
It all started as the Dickinson Fire & Pressed Brick Co. in 1892, and in 1934 became known as the Dickinson Clay Products Co. which used western ND Clay to make both Bricks & Tile
Howard Lewis, a ceramic engineering student from Iowa State Collage and former employee of the Niloak Pottery Company took charge, and brought Charles Grantier aboard from the UND School of Mines WPA Division in 1935, Dickota Pottery was named from the first four letters from the city it was made (DICKinson) and the last 3 letters of the state (North DakOTA). Dickota pottery was made as a source of income for the company during the harsh ND winter months when the company could not produce this main bread & butter, Tiles & Bricks.
Although it was a short lived company, (1934-1937), Dickota Pottery was well liked and very popular with the state citizens and has become a very collectible item because of the limited production.
This popular item is also know as a "Ball Pitcher" but because this tilted design was all ready owned by a large glass company, Dickota was forced to end production of it and shortly after, closed down in late 1937.
At first I thought this pitcher was repaired at one time, but through close inspection, it seems that the glaze was rubbed against something and then repaired before firing, giving it a uneven finish in a couple spots as shown in the photos.
