McDade Pottery Quart-Size Pitcher - TexasHere is a rare one!Based on pitchers I have seen in a large McDade collection (see last photo), I have identified this as made at the McDade Pottery. Nice display size for a Texas home. Stands 7 inches tall and about 5 inches at widest.A very solid piece (and heavy at the bottom- won't tip over) with honest use wear and small rim chips. No cracks or chips at the base. Pinched-in sides to make the spout. It has an almost invisible ...hairline crack that you can see in the last photo with white arrow. See photos for details and ask questions.
"MCDADE, TEXAS. McDade, on U.S. Highway 290 eight miles southeast of Elgin in northern Bastrop County, was established in 1869 in anticipation of the arrival of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. Two years later the first train reached the site, and the town was officially platted and named after James W. McDade, who lived in Brenham. In its early days McDade was also called Tie City or Tie Town...Matthew Dunkin started a pottery called Randolph Factory east of Bishop. When he died Milton Stoker moved it to McDade to be near clay deposits. In 1890 Robert L. Williams became owner, and he and his son operated the business until World War II. Called McDade Pottery, it caused the town to become well known throughout the state. See more of the history at: https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hlm45
