An exceptionally rare early American porcelain electric toaster produced by Toast-Rite, manufactured by The Pan Electric Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio. This example features an unusual red (also known as pink or red willow) transfer ware chinoiserie decoration.
Porcelain Toast-Rite toasters are scarce; decorated examples are exceedingly rare, with very few documented in private hands. Comparable examples are rarely encountered on the open market, including at least one known museum-held example.
A striking object of curiosity and display piece for collectors of early industrial design, Americana, or historically significant decorative arts.
