Vintage *Ballerina* by Universal Pitcher

This pitcher is part of the 'Ballerina' or 'Rosette' pattern produced by Universal Pottery in Cambridge, Ohio during the mid-20th century, approximately 1940s-1950s. The design features a simple pink rose motif with gray leaves on a cream-colored background, characteristic of Universal's casual dinnerware lines from this period.

Universal Pottery's Ballerina line has become a collectible item among vintage kitchenware enthusiasts and mid-century Americana collectors. These pieces are valued for their charming floral designs, practical functionality, and representation of post-war American domestic aesthetics. Collectors particularly appreciate the delicate hand-painted quality of the floral decoration that adds a touch of elegance to everyday tableware.
