Tall Plainsmans glaze terra cotta rose and turquoise

Back Button

5H Tall Plainsman shakers, turquoise and terra cotta rose glazes. 3/3 hole sets, front and back. This is a most beautiful pair, but they are not really a pair! The turquoise shaker is on Ada clay and the terra cotta rose shaker is on Sapulpa clay. Frankoma did not make this version of turquoise after 1951. At least the 1952 catalog notes "due to material shortages we have been forced to temporarily discontinue turquoise blue." Terra cotta rose first appeared in 1955 and by then the turquoise was more blue, probably occasioned by the switch to red clay.
