I am helping my mother to liquidate her extensive collection of vintage original Hull Pottery and will be listing several pieces at a time until it is all gone. I love to combine shipping and if you are looking for a particular piece, just let me know. If she has it, I can arrange a special auction for you. A rare chance to obtain hard-to-find pieces to add to your collection at bargain prices, especially if you take advantage of combined shipping. I'm excited to offer these to you with low opening bids and NO RESERVE!!! This is an absolutely stunning signed set from Hull Pottery, a Matte Magnolia pattern Tea Set, including No. 23 Teapot and lid, No. 24 Open Creamer, and 25 Open Sugar Bowl (please note that in the Matte Magnolia, the sugar has no lid, although it goes have a lid in the Magnolia Gloss. Go figure!). It was manufactured in the mid '40's. The teapot measures approximately 6" tall including lid and 9" from handle to spout. The bottom has raised markings "Hull Art, U.S.A. - 23 - 6 1/2." T is a '19' scratched into the bottom, probably identifying the artist who did the hand painting The creamer measures approx. 3.25" tall at top of handle and 5.75" from handle to spout. The bottom has raised markings "Hull Art, USA 24 - 3 3/4"." The sugar bowl measures approx. 3.25" tall at top of handle, and 5.5" from handle to handle. The bottom has raised markings "Hull Art, USA 25 - 3 3/4"." This entire set is in exceptional condition. Besides the normal Hull dots and pimples and t, the tea pot has a black dot on the green leaf and a small stray green paint spot on the front. The inside walls and bottom show some crazing and light tea stains. The lid has a half inch hairline crack on the underside lip, which does not show when displaying, nor does it affect the performance of the teapot (see photo). It stays secure when in pouring position. The creamer appears to be in near perfect condition, and the inside and bottom are clean and pristine. It does have a miniscule glazed over notch in the pour spout and a tiny notch out of the underside On the sugar bowl also appears to be in pretty much perfect condition. The inside and bottom of the bowl are clean and pristine. T is a stray green glaze dot on the inside of the sugar bowl. This matte finish Magnolia Tea set is just drop dead gorgeous - a background of soft clear butter yellow shading to a purpley peach at the very bottom. Rose pink and golden yellow magnolia flowers with green leaves decorate the front and back. An amazing Hull set for your collection. 2003 Book Value on the teapot alone was $240 - $275, I have no idea what it runs now. The creamer and sugar were listed at $55 - $85 each in 2003. I have tried to describe this piece and any flaws or items of interest that I have detected in great detail, and have also provided several pictures. Please ask any questions before bidding to make sure you are happy with your purchase, as all sales are final unless I've made a big boo-boo, like shipping you the wrong item or making a gross error in the description.
