Pfaltzgraff Art Pottery Vase

Here's another find from my junking a few days ago. It was a successful day, and I still have another goody or two to blog about. I paid $3.00 for this quality piece of collectible Pfaltzgraff art pottery. These pieces are not all that easy to come by these days. Pfaltzgraff was established in York, PA and has been around since the early 1800's. They're known for making a significant variety of stoneware crocks during their early days. This vase was manufactured around the 1930's during the arts and crafts period. Just about everyone knows Pfaltzgraff, and we might all recognize it from our parents or grandmothers kitchens. It was such a popular and durable dinnerware the past several decades. The dinnerware pieces of more recent years can be found in abundance for very reasonable prices. An average retail value on art pottery pieces such as this one can range anywhere from $30-50.00 with larger pieces going for far more.
