This Hall China Rose Parade ball pitcher is a quintessential piece of mid-century American kitchenware. Produced by the Hall China Company of East Liverpool, Ohio in the 1940s, the Rose Parade pattern pairs a smooth periwinkle blue glaze with a cream handle decorated with a pink rose and soft blue-green leaves. Shape #1259 is the classic ball-form pitcher that collectors actively seek. The backstamp reads “Hall’s Superior Quality Kitchenware, Made in USA, Rose Parade 1259.” Some light crazing is present on the body, consistent with age and typical of Hall China from this period — no chips or cracks. A charming and highly displayable piece for any Hall China or vintage kitchen collection.
