Vintage Catalina Pottery Peasant Woman Head Vase C801 Bothman Gladding McBean

Description

VINTAGE 1940S CATALINA POTTERY
PEASANT HEAD VASE C801
Available for purchase is a collectible porcelain Catalina Pottery head vase
made by Gladding, McBean & Company of Los Angeles, California during the 1940's.  Catalina Pottery was originally produced by the Catalina Clay Products Company on Santa Catalina Island off the coast of California during the 1930's, but the company was sold to Gladding McBean in 1937.  This particular vase was designed by Dorr Bothman and patented in 1939.  It depicts a "peasant woman" in a scarf with her hands cupped next to her head.  This vase was produced in numerous color and paint combinations.
This peasant vase stands about 6 3/4" tall and measures approximately 5 3/4" wide.  The color is ivory white with an attractive hand-painted floral design on the scarf.  The underside of the base has the impressed markings "CATALINA POTTERY" with the mold number "C 801".   Amazingly, the original label is still attached that reads "C-801" and "U.S. Pat. No. 114804".  I purchased this head vase at a recent estate sale.
Condition of this Catalina Pottery head vase is EXCELLENT with no chips, cracks, fleabites, or crazing.  It was obviously well cared for.  This vintage head vase looks fantastic and displays beautifully.  It would make a fine addition to any collection.  Please take a close look at the many photos I've provided and judge condition for yourself.  I'm confident you'll be very pleased with this purchase!

Payment is due immediately after purchase.  E-bay policy limits sellers to only accepting electronic methods of payment (i.e. PayPal).  If you have any questions regarding this policy, please let me know.  Virginia residents will need to add 5.3% state sales tax to the final purchase price.  E-bay has also started charging sales tax in many other states recently, something beyond my control.
For international purchases, I accept Paypal only.  The buyer is responsible for all customs fees.  The declared value listed on the customs form will be the final selling price of the item.  I will not list the item as a "gift" to avoid customs charges.
If you're the lucky buyer of this Catalina Pottery head vase, it will come to you VERY carefully packaged via Parcel Select or Priority Mail (your choice).  Shipping will be actual charges from zip code 22980 (packaged weight between 3 and 4 pounds).  Use the eBay shipping calculator to determine exact mailing cost to your location.  International bidders will need to e-mail me for a shipping quote.
E-bay no longer allows sellers to offer buyers the option of purchasing shipping insurance.  I will insure this item at my own expense.
