Manufacturer: Carr China Company
User: West Virginia State Seal – Green
Date of examples:
Bowl – 1936
Jelly Dish – 1939
Notes: The West Virginia State Seal is most commonly found in black on a Glo-Tan background, so both of these pieces – both made in 1930s – are a little different because of their green seals on white clay. Both shapes are a little harder to find, too.
The bowl is listed in the 1934 Carr catalog under the heading of Nappies, and is a No. 232 Rolled Edge, 8 inches, holding 3 pints. The bowl is actually 8 5/8" in diameter and 3" high.
The 3-inch jelly dish, No. 190 in the 1934 catalog, shown above, is also not a common shape.
