Vintage Dandee Rudolph and Dancer Plush Reindeer. Rudolph stands about 10" in height, Dancer stands 9". Excellent condition.
This exceptional hand-thrown studio mug showcases a warm, multi-tonal glaze that transitions from a deep, rich chocolate brown at the rim to a speckled, earthy tan at the base. The piece is distinguished by its "CS" signature incised on the bottom, a mark often associated with high-quality independent studio potters who specialized in functional stoneware during the mid-to-late 20th century. The mug’s flared, slightly tapered silhouette and sturdy, hand-applied handle provide a comfortable grip, making it a perfect vessel for a large cup of coffee or a rustic tea service.
The pottery features a vitrified finish, common in high-fire stoneware, which ensures durability while highlighting the natural "wabi-sabi" variations and textures inherent in the clay. Its neutral, organic palette makes it a versatile addition to a modern farmhouse, bohemian, or MCM-inspired kitchen. Standing 4.5 inches tall, this mug is a piece of functional art that brings a sense of artisanal history to daily rituals.
This item is vintage, over 20 years old. While the item appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
