Figure 62 Jugs, Hall China, East Liverpool, Ohio, 1940–1950. Whiteware. Front: H. 3 1/4". Mark: “Hall [within a circle] / made in u.s.a. / 1536.” Rear: H. 5 1/2". Mark: “Hall [within a circle] / made in u.s.a. / 1540.” Thorley Jugs, as they are called, were designed by Thorley and made for Hall in the 1940s. They were made in three sizes, the largest and smallest of which appear here; the middle-size jug is 5" tall and bears the number “1538.” All are the same form as the luster examples Thorley made for Colonial Williamsburg between 1938 and 1955, and appeared with many types of decoration for the rest of his active life. |
