D. E. McNicol

Old McNicol's Stonewall China by Simon Slobodkin

The D. E. McNicol Pottery Co. (Clarksburg, W. Virginia). Stonewall China. Rice. Salad Turreen (said to double as a "Bean Pot, Fruit Bowl, or Flower Vase"). About 10.5" wide x 9" tall. Simon Slobodkin. 1951. The Salad Tureen is juxtaposed next to the creamer for comparison. The line was hailed as "West Virginia's provincial dinnerware for moderns" and "genuine fine china in textural modern design for modern casual living". It combined "dining room service" with "living room entertaining" and "kitchen cook-in service". (Crockery & Glass Journal: August 1951, July 1952, and others)


Found in a small rural NJ antique mall.

Nice!

Very cool, I didn't know it was called a Salad Tureen.  Love it.

I like this line.  I passed up the tureen in black a few years back at the Sal. Army.  I went back the next day because I could not stop thinking about it, and of course is was gone!

First tureen I've seen

This is the first tureen I've seen. I have a large set of black but no black tureen!

I have the large salad tureen in brown. Can anyone give me an idea what it is worth?
