The Atomic Starburst is one of the most famous icon that represents the mid-century era. This pitcher is manufactured from 1954-1957 by Franciscan Pottery Gladding, McBean & Company. According to the source: ” There were fifty different shapes available. Many pieces were common, and can be found today in antique and second-hand stores all over the United States. The serving pieces and specialty pieces were not produced in quantity, and are today difficult to find in good condition.”
