Manufacturer: Carr China Company
User: CDH – City of Chicago
Date of pitcher: 1934
Notes: This handsome pitcher with the three-branched, Y-shaped, three-rivers logo of the City of Chicago that can be found on many structures throughout the city. There are two possibilities for where this CDH one was used.
First would have been the Contagious Disease Hospital that opened in 1917 and mainly treating diphtheria patients at first and was treating polio patients in the 1950s.
And the second would be the Chicago Dept. of Health, with no facility that we know of where the china would have been used.
