1940, bright Uranium Yellow glazed earthenware, rounded handle, upturned footed base, unmarked.

17 1/2 x 14 3/4 in.

This glaze was in use prior to WWII, since during the war years uranium oxide was difficult to obtain and later, was never put back into production as people associated the it with the atomic bomb.

Good condition.
