Vintage FRANCISCAN Earthenware Tulip Time 32 Oz Pitcher MCM

Step back in time with the Franciscan Earthenware vintage classic – the Tulip Time collection. Immerse yourself in the charm of bygone eras as you embrace the beauty of this cream-colored earthenware 6-inch tall, 32-ounce pitcher, adorned with hand-painted blue-green tulips. This discontinued design, active between 1963 and 1973, transforms your dining experience into a nostalgic journey. The Tulip Time collection is a testament to timeless elegance, featuring a distinctive blue-green band at the base or edges of most pieces. Each piece encapsulates the craftsmanship and attention to detail that made Franciscan a household name.

Quoting from the book "Franciscan Hand-Decorated Embossed Dinnerware" by James F. Elliot-Bishop on page 6: "All USA made Franciscan earthenware contains lead in the glaze; however, since it is made using a one fire process at a high temperature, the lead is sealed into the glaze. Stringent testing has proven that lead cannot be leached from the glaze and Franciscan earthenware is safe to store foods on." This quote not only underscores the commitment to quality but also assures you of the safety of these vintage treasures. Whether you're a collector or a connoisseur of classic design, the Tulip Time collection is a rare find that adds a touch of history to your table. Elevate your dining experience with this vintage masterpiece – a true symbol of enduring style and grace.
