Catalina Pottery Reseda Art Ware square vase #C-456~Franciscan~1940~pristine-NR

Description

I am offering a terrific Catalina Pottery artware piece!
This item is a vase from their Reseda Art Ware line.
Catalina Pottery is the art~ware division of Franciscan. Franciscan bought the molds and rights to Catalina Island pottery around 1937. They renamed the artware items
“Catalina Pottery”.
Shapes that had been originally produced by Catalina Island, and then made by Franciscan under the Catalina Pottery banner, retained the original island shape number, but a “C” was added to the number so as not to deceive customers in thinking these items were island pieces. Many new designs also incorporated the “C” designation on art ware, as well.
Sadly, Catalina Pottery art ware was only produced for five short years—1937 to 1942. At that time, art ware production was deemed “non-essential”, and discontinued to support the war effort of WWII. Sadly, these pieces were not made after the war ended.
Reseda was introduced in 1940, and ceased production in 1942.
This vase is shape #C-456. It has a unique squarish shape. It is glazed in agate, with a faint mottled blue and maroon overglaze sprayed over the whitish agate color. It looks like the overspray technique is similar to the Oxblood color, albeit with a different glaze color. This color is hard to describe, I hope the attached photos will show this unique color. The vase measures 8” high, and measures about 3 1/2” across the rim. It has a backstamp that reads
“CATALINA
MADE IN
U.S.A.
POTTERY”.
Condition is pristine, nearly mint! No sign of use or wear, and no damage at all.
I am also selling another Reseda piece in a separate listing, don’t miss it.
No reserve!
