I did not want to scrub it3.BLUE CRANE 5" tall has Abingdon stamp on bottomThe acknowledged leader in the production of colored plumbing fixtures in the 1920s was rural Illinois based Abingdon Sanitary Manufacturing Company. Abingdon’s designs and quality made it the company of choice for the production of all plumbing fixtures for the 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago. However, in that same year, the company verged on bankruptcy. Demand for water closets and wash basins had evaporated with a world economic depression. It determined that the production of art pottery was needed to survive and in 1934, the company hired a talented ceramic engineer, Leslie Moody, a promising designer, Eric Herslet, and a gifted sculptor, Frances Moody. Buyers were impressed, and during the seventeen years of production from 1934 to 1950, six million pieces of art pottery were produced. Although Abingdon pottery was originally sold in gift shops; it was an ideal decorating compliment to the 1940’s home. Glazes in pinks, greens, blues and grays fit nicely with the period’s Homer Laughlin china. Many of its sculptured pieces were designed by Mrs. Frances Moody at her kitchen table. Usually Abingdon Pottery is marked on the bottom with an ink stamp ABINGDON USA and an incised mold number. The 1997 Abingdon Pottery Artware by Joe Paradis is the authoritative reference used by collectors. All of my items are sold "As Is."
