Mid-Century Japanese Orange Pitcher – 1950s–70s – Atomic Glaze
A bold and beautiful mid-century Japanese export pitcher, finished in a vibrant atomic-orange glaze that only the 1950s–70s era could produce. The clean cylindrical form, modern handle, and crisp spout give it the unmistakable silhouette of functional mid-century design.
The glaze carries faint internal shadows — trapped beneath the finish during firing — a hallmark of vintage Japanese studio production and part of the charm that makes each piece one-of-a-kind. Smooth, glossy, and wonderfully saturated in color.
Perfect for open shelving, a pop of retro color in the kitchen, or as a sculptural accent on its own.
Marked “Made in Japan” on the base.
