Iroquois Caribe TEAL AQUA Airbrush Restaurant Ware 6" Saucer VTG Puerto Rico

Description: This is for a 6" Restaurant Ware saucer with an airbrushed teal coloring--I see this color also listed as Aqua. It is not green, not blue. More of a teal in my eye but anyway... Backstamped Iroquois China P.R. B-2, and that date code is for either 1916 (unlikely) or 1942 (still a little early than I would've thought.) There was another saucer I bought at the same time which was dated 1951 which makes the most sense as that color was really popular in the 1950's. P.R. shows this was made in the Puerto Rico plant. Great shine to glaze. No chips, no stains. Bright color. Colors are SO BRIGHT on these--really gently cared for all these decades. Maybe you have a cup in search of a saucer? These are beautiful--would fit in with any lightly used set of vintage airbrushed restaurant ware. I have other vintage RW listed as well so just ask if you want to bundle and save on shipping. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE How I Assess Vintage Pieces My listings are more than just a one line list of the dimensions. I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the listing, with both photos and descriptions. This means you know what you are getting from me. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminishment in shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it. I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…so I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item.

If you check out my feedback, you will see I do not often disappoint. Looking for Other Vintage Mid Century Modern Items? WAXWING MID MOD may be able to help! Let me know what you are after. At any given moment I have 100+ items not listed yet! I focus on mid-century modern plate sets, serving pieces, barware, glassware, stemware, vases, and art. You can find me under AstridWaxwing09 on various platforms. I love reuniting orphan glassware with its pattern family! Franciscan, Noritake, Lenox, Stangl, Salem, California potteries, Dorothy Thorpe, McCoy, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Corning Ware/Corelle are some of the brands I seek out and educate myself about. I’m drawn to kitchenware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritual of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide what image of “successful adulthood” they want to portray to their friends and family. Often the bride had more control over these choices—but so much less control about most everything else. Women are still fighting for control over their lives, bodies, education, and destiny. It may seem odd to look backwards at dishes and bowls from the 1920’s-1970’s to be inspired about women’s rights but I am aware on a daily basis that any opportunity or privilege I have today was made possible by women who came before me—intelligent women like my mother who may have not been legally able to have her own checking account or attend certain universities, but still took action to shape a better future.
