This vintage white ironstone milk pitcher was produced by Tepco China, one of America's best-known manufacturers of durable restaurant and hotel china. Dating to the 1930s and 1940s, this pitcher features the heavy, thick ironstone construction that made Tepco pieces favorites in commercial dining establishments across the country.
The simple utilitarian form and bright white finish have helped Tepco ironstone remain highly collectible today. We especially love these pitchers because they are equally useful and decorative. Use it at the table for serving beverages, or fill it with flowers for an effortless centerpiece. The sturdy handle and generous proportions make it a practical piece you'll reach for again and again.
Its timeless design blends beautifully with farmhouse, cottage, traditional, and modern interiors while bringing authentic vintage character to any space.
