RARE PERSONALIZED Vernon Kilns MODERN CALIFORNIA LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD BULB MUG

Description

Item Description:
Up for auction is this unique, personalized Little Red Riding Hood bulb mug produced by Vernon Kilns in its Modern California pattern.  Most likely a special order item given the name "Beverly" applied to it, we're assuming that this mug dates to between 1937 and 1949 when Modern California was in production.  We would also think that this beautifully decorated mug is a one of a kind item.  We have never seen anything like it in some thirty five years of collecting Vernon Kilns.  In any event, the mug is in superb condition with no chips, cracks or crazing with the exception of a few shallow, barely noticeable chiggers on the bottom of the mug where it would rest on a shelf or table - please see last photo.  Has delightful scenes portraying the fairy tale around the bottom as well as a large, lovely central scene depicting Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf.  One thing of note is the peculiar way in which the name is spelled with multiple straight and slanted gold lines separating the letters of the name.  We cannot fathom what else the name could possibly be other than Beverly.  Stands approximately 3 7/8" tall.  Please view our photos carefully as they are part of the description.  Any reflections, white spots or irregular looking shading patterns in the photos (amplified when using the enlarge feature) are due to glare from outdoor light.  Please view our other auctions for more hard to find Vernon Kilns pieces.
