Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible piece of mid-century American history: an original vitrified restaurant ware creamer pitcher produced by the historic Carr China Company out of Grafton, West Virginia.
This specific style was custom-produced to stock the rustic cabins and gift shops across West Virginia State Parks starting in the late 1930s through the early 1950s.
It features the iconic West Virginia State Seal on the front, accompanied by the classic "Glo-Tan" body detailing—a warm tan base accented with crisp black and rust-orange underglaze bands.
Features & Specifications:
Front Graphics: Crisp, dark black transfer seal of the State of West Virginia featuring the state motto "Montani Semper Liberi".
Markings: Stamped on the bottom: "Souvenir of West Virginia State Parks – Carr China, Grafton, W.Va."
Measurements: Stands approximately 3 inches tall (perfect individual creamer size).
Durability: Heavy-duty, vitrified commercial-grade china built to withstand the rugged environment of park lodges.
Condition:Excellent vintage condition with incredibly vibrant graphics.
The glaze retains a brilliant, glossy sheen. No visible cracks or chips along the rim or body.
The interior base shows minimal signs of age, and the bottom rim shows light, expected shelf wear consistent with an authentic vintage piece.
An exceptional addition for collectors of West Virginia memorabilia, state park history, or vintage commercial restaurant ware!
