Vintage Fiesta Disc Water Pitcher in Turquoise

This is a vintage disc-shaped water pitcher, a classic example of American Art Deco dinnerware designed by Frederick Hurten Rhead for the Homer Laughlin China Company. This specific piece is finished in the smooth, semi-opaque Turquoise glaze, which was first introduced to the line in 1937. The pitcher is constructed from heavy, durable earthenware and features the signature circular concentric rings at the center, surrounded by an embossed snowflake or starburst-like decorative pattern on the sidewalls of the vessel. It possesses an integrated C-shaped handle and a pronounced, swept-back pouring spout. The glaze displays a soft, characteristic sheen, though there appear to be minor surface imperfections common in vintage production, such as small pinholes and glaze pops. The overall condition appears excellent with consistent coloration and no immediate evidence of hairline fractures or significant chipping visible from the front profile. Based on its design and glaze profile, this item likely dates between the late 1930s and the early 1950s, representing a peak period for the original Fiesta line's craftsmanship and popularity.
