This vintage Peace Dale Pitcher by Peter Pots Pottery is a fine example of mid-century American studio pottery, handcrafted in Rhode Island, USA in the late 1950's. Named after the village of Peace Dale near the pottery’s historic workshop, this design reflects the makers’ philosophy of creating beautiful, functional, and enduring stoneware.

Thrown by hand from high-quality stoneware, the pitcher features a classic two-tone glaze, with a rich mahogany brown upper glaze softly transitioning into a light gray or creamy off-white base—a hallmark aesthetic of Peter Pots Pottery. The form is both sculptural and practical, designed for everyday use while remaining highly collectible.

Peter Pots Pottery was founded in 1948 by Oliver and Elizabeth Greene, graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and early contributors to the American studio pottery movement. What began as a small student venture soon grew into a respected family-run pottery, eventually settling in the historic Glen Rock Mill (circa 1867) in West Kingston, Rhode Island. Their work is celebrated for its high-fired, lead-free, dishwasher-safe stoneware, blending craftsmanship with functionality.

Today, Peter Pots Pottery remains an enduring name in American ceramics, making this pitcher a desirable piece for collectors of vintage stoneware, New England pottery, and mid-century handcrafted ceramics.
