As America's heartland was electrified in the 1930's, refrigerators began to replace ice boxes as a more reliable way to store and preserve food. Manufacturers touted the modern convenience of planning ahead and serving "leftovers." But before ziplock bags and Saran Wrap, how would the modern housewife contain all this new-found goodness?
In perhaps the world's first marketing collab, the Hall China Company worked with manufacturers to created beautiful, stylish containers to be co-branded with their refrigerators. Sometimes packed with the machines as a bonus, they created different patterns and colors over the years.
These 2 art deco beauties were made for Westinghouse, and the smaller one was in the pattern "Phoenix." It has a cute knob handle and stylish ribs on one end of the exterior. It's about 4"x6" and stands about 4" tall with the lid on. There are 2 small cracks on one end, shown in the photos. They don't seem to have affected the strength or integrity of the piece.
The larger one, in sort of a "loaf" shape, has a streamlined fin handle on the lid and sleek designs on the ends (see video.) It measures 8" x 5" and is 6" tall with the lid on. The lid has a slight crack on the lip that shows as a small chip from the exterior. They are each priced to consider the slight damage. Both are marked with the Hall/Westinghouse cobranding on the back.
These will make a stunning addition to your fridge scape! Free S&H in the US!
