Pfaltzgraff Bicentennial Celebration Collection
Introduced in 2002. Pfaltzgraff will be celebrating its 200th birthday in 2011. To commemorate the occasion, Pfaltzgraff is issuing a series of miniature replicas of actual Pfaltzgraff products manufactured through the course of its history. Each replica in the collection represents a different era of Pfaltzgraff history.
The Pfaltzgraff 2008 Bicentennial Bean Pot is a miniature replica of an actual product manufactured by Pfaltzgraff circa 1930. The original measured 7 1/2" high, and featured a popular two-glaze dipping technique. The logo, glazes, colors, shape design and stoneware material used are as close to the original manufacturing processes as current technology allows.
The 2007 Bicentennial Derby Dan Cookie jar is a miniature replica based on a vintage item in the "Muggsy" line, manufactured by The Pfaltzgraff Co., from the late 1940's to 1960. The Muggsy line, designed by Norman and Dorothy Jessop of Baltimore MD, included cartoon-like character mugs, cookie jars, laundry sprinklers and bottle stoppers. The shape, design, stoneware material, decoration and colors are as true to the original Muggsy manufacturing process as current technology allows.
