Rare Mid Century Paden City Greenbrier Ivy Relish Bowls 22K Gold 1940’s

Mid Century Paden City Greenbriar Ivy Relish bowls. A set of 8. Features fresh green sprays of ivy captured on a white background ringed in 22K gold. Paden Pottery was named for a West Virginia farmer where the manufacturing plant came to life in 1914. Paden Pottery was known for doing things more out of the ordinary than most dinnerware companies of their day. Their glazing technique involved sandblasting. They introduced matte glazed, used round kilns, invested in the newest technologically advanced equipment, designed a popular square plate design, & weathered the turbulent years of the Great Depression. For 40 years, Paden City produced dinnerware of high quality, consistent craftsmanship, & artistic design. Like many American companies, they couldn’t compete with the influx of foreign dinnerware imports to America, so they closed their doors in 1953. These are in excellent condition. Refer to the last photos to asses any flaws. There is a tiny chip under one of the lift handles on one of the bowls. On another bowl, there is a copper transfer of color on one of its sides. The other flaw is in the final photo. It appears that there are some stress lines in the inside bottom of the bowl do to its age. So, there are some minor flaws on 3 of the bowls. This is a nice rare collection of dishes from the 1940’s. I usually ship same or next day. My items are Crossposted. #rare #1940’s #gold #vine #pottery
