Here you have an opportunity to own an instant collection of 2 checkerboard mochaware pitchers and 5 matching mugs.  The checkerboard effect was achieved by the potter machining the sides, cutting away some of the clay leaving the rectangles that were then glazed with green, brown or rust color glaze.  On each of these you can feel where the clay was removed. These were molded using pearlware and yellow ware clay.  These are small, each of the mugs measure 3” to the rim and the pitchers 3 ¼” and 3 ¾” in height to the rim.  One of the mugs has a rim chip and each of the pitchers has small chips, one to the spout and the other to the rim.
