Description Untitled Document Lovely Blue Catalina Island Pottery Vase ca. 1936 - No Reserve! -         You are bidding on a sweet little Catalina Island Pottery vase in a matte blue color. It measures 4 3/4 inches tall and is 2 3/4 inches at the widest part with a 1 7/8 inch base. The glaze is incredibly smooth and soft to the touch. As you can see in my pictures, it's marked Catalina Island with the mold number 209. The color of the clay is white, indicating that it was made between 1932 and 1936 just before the Gladding McBean partnership bought the pottery and some of the molds. It has one very tiny chip at the edge of the base, and a small pinhole in the glass that occurred during manufacturing. Other than that, it has no other damage of any kind that I can find. This is a lovely little piece of pottery from the early days of Catalina Island Pottery, which was in operation for only the ten years between 1927 to 1937. This is a very nice example and I'm sure you'll be pleased. In addition, this is a wonderful opportunity to add a piece of Catalina Pottery history to your pottery collection! Take a look at all the pictures to get a good idea of what you're bidding on. My low starting price is no indication of its value.
