THIS IS AN AWESOME FIND, A WONDERFUL MODERN DESIGN CUP ANS SAUCER FROM THE 1950'S! FROM THE FAMOUS SALEM CHINA/POTTERY COMPANY, FREE FORM "PRIMITIVE" GLAZED EARTHENWARE, A CREAM COLOR WITH GREY FLECKS AND THE ACCENTS OF NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS AND DEER IN RUST AND BROWN! PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY (any discoloring is from the camera reflection). THE CONDITION IS EXCELLENT, NO CRAZING, CHIPS, WEAR OR DISCOLORING. THE SAUCER MEASURES 6 1/2". The tripod feet of the cup are designed so that the bottom of the cup will never drip. Most cups have a flat, banded bottom, which creates suction between the cup and saucer, and makes them pick up the least drop of liquid and spill it in some inconvenient place. The design of the teacup was patented, for it represented the first significant improvement in cup design in a century. THIS IS THE TALENTED ART WORK OF VIKTOR SCHRECKENGOST! IN FACT THIS WAS FOUND IN AN ATTIC OF A HOUSE ON THE STREET W HE GREW UP IN SEBRING, OHIO!! Schreckengost began the design process for these pieces with sketches in pastel. The Primitive pattern ornamenting this set was loosely based on cave paintings and was specifically intended to appeal to men. Schreckengost decided if he was going to design a pattern for men, he might as well start with the cavemen.
