Product Details

The vintage Shafford Fruit du Jour majolica-style pitcher with embossed lemon, apple, and pear fruit décor was produced by Shafford, a Japanese import company active in the mid-to-late 20th century (1950s-1990s), featuring three-dimensional molded fruit designs in colorful glazes inspired by traditional European majolica pottery that brought whimsical, naturalistic charm to beverage service during the era when Japanese manufacturers created high-quality decorative ceramics for American and international markets.
