Blue Mountain Pottery Harvest Gold 8" Jug, Colonial Style Pitcher, BMP

This is an 8" jug in "Harvest Gold" by Blue Mountain Pottery. The colors of the distinctive "drip glaze" are a rich gold and a reddish brown. This colonial style pitcher has a traditionally shaped body and a scalloped rim that makes it very decorative. It has the triangle of three trees with Canada stamped on the bottom. It is approximately 8 inches tall and about 7 1/2 inches across the widest point. It is in very good condition with no cracks or chips. There is only a little crazing which is very hard to see. Please see all the photos. "Blue Mountain Pottery was a Canadian pottery company located in Collingwood, Ontario. It was founded in 1953 by Dennis Tupy and Jozo Weider and closed in 2004. Originally producing hand-painted ski motifs on purchased blanks, production of the red clay items started in 1953-1954. It went on to produce various types of pottery, from animal figurines to jugs, pots and vases. Blue Mountain Pottery items feature a unique, trademarked glazing process known as "reflowing decorating." Two different liquid glazes, one light and one dark in colour, were applied. During the firing process the glazes would run, creating streaking patterns unique to each piece. The company's products have a large fan base and are collected worldwide."
