Know before you buy
This piece is being sold specifically for decorative or repurposing use. Due to its age and the presence of metallic gold trim, it is not recommended for modern oven or microwave use.
The baker measures approximately 7 ¾ inches in width and 2 ¾ inches in height, with a total capacity of 3 pints.
To preserve the integrity of the vintage glaze and the delicate gold trim, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and avoiding abrasive scrubbers or the dishwasher.
Yes, because the Jewel Tea line was produced over several decades, there can be slight variations in the color saturation and placement of the floral decals. This is a standard characteristic of vintage Hall China.
The 'Autumn Leaf' pattern was originally created by Hall China exclusively for the Jewel Tea Company in 1933. It became one of the most popular dinnerware patterns in American history, often distributed as premiums to loyal customers.
