Is this tin jug from the 1930s? Nope! Despite it’s geometric simplicity, it’s from the 1870s and probably designed by Christopher Dresser. Notably the first industrial designer, his work in finer metals predates Bauhaus designs by decades.
The chipped green paint was probably applied in the 20th century, but dark red revealed underneath must have been favored by the Victorian customers of the time. The wear underscores the utilitarian nature of this piece that makes me think more of Jean Prouvé than anything else.
Found these wonderful and increasingly rarer shakers yesterday. I don’t collect this line so they’re eBay bound. #franciscanstarburst #mid-century (Taken with instagram)
