Add a vibrant pop of mid-century Americana to your home or shop display with this authentic 1950s F.E. Sims California Pottery Thunderbird trinket dish. Hand-painted and cast in Pasadena, California, this striking piece is a premier example of classic post-war Southwestern roadside curio styling.
Molded into the geometric silhouette of a traditional Native American Thunderbird totem, the dish features a rich, high-gloss glaze configuration of brilliant turquoise blue, sunny mustard-yellow, and deep chocolate brown outlines.
An incredibly versatile mid-century accent, this highly collectible pottery piece displays beautifully on its own, works perfectly as a retro vanity jewelry catch-all, or sits elegantly on a bar cart as a vintage novelty ash tray.
