Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is an early piece of Breininger pottery most likely made by the master himself. It represents a beautiful piece of folk art or art pottery, which would can be used as a decorative accent piece or would display nicely in your collection. Condition: The piece is in very good condition. It has no breaks, no cracks, no chips, no hairlines, and no repairs. The piece has some of the usual defects you would expect in primitive redware pieces like this such as pops, slubs, uneven surfaces, roughness to the surface, and spots that were not completely covered by the glaze. The piece has several pops in the glaze which result in roughness to the surface and loss of glaze. One is at the junction where the handle meets the top cup (see next to last photo) and the other is in the middle of the column supporting the cup (see last photo). There are at least two more on the opposite side of the one on the column which are less obvious but can be felt. However, all of these are original to the making and do not affect the beauty or quality of the piece. Please see photos for additional condition information.
