Made by Pfaltzgraff in the USA this deep burgundy color seashell shaped trinket dish is from the late 1970's. At 5 inches by 5 and 1/2 inches in size it is a perfectly sized little display dish to hold your earrings rings watch keys wrapped candy or whatever.

On the bottom side there is the Pfaltzgraff maker’s mark along with the logo copyright notice and Made in USA.

As you can see there is no damage anywhere. There are no scratches chips cracks or issues to report. It is in Excellent Vintage Condition.

This is a glazed shiny porcelain which reflects the light on both the top and bottom sides.

The shell shape has a 1 and 1/4 inch rise from the base.

I have even seen ceramic dishes like this used in bathrooms to add to the coastal beachy vibe.

A bit of Pfaltzgraff history according to Wikipedia: "It is commonly reported that the Pfaltzgraff company was founded in 1811 in York County Pennsylvania by several members of the Pfaltzgraff family who were potters though the most notable member was Johann George Pfaltzgraff who arrived in York County from Germany in 1833. Johann having come from a family of potters knew the trade and passed his skills on to his seven sons. After Johann died in 1873 three of his children John George and Henry were still carrying on the business. The business became official in 1889 when George and Henry started a partnership that would become The Pfaltzgraff Co. The first factory was built in 1895. The business continued to grow and in 1960 Pfaltzgraff opened their first retail store under the name Pottery Hill. During the 1950s and 1960s the products were mostly sold in specialty stores but in the 1970s the business made a strategic decision to sell in higher-end department stores such as G. Fox & Co. and Macy's. Several lines of Pfalzgraff glazed earthenwares have featured among the 100 most popular ceramic designs. A large mural depicting Pfaltzgraff's history was painted in York Pennsylvania in 1998. The Pfaltzgraff Co. was sold to Lifetime Brands Inc. in 2005."
