Holland Mold Company, founded in Pennsylvania in the 1940s, was famous for creating blank ceramic molds for home crafters and small studios. These molds, sold to hobbyists across the U.S., fueled the DIY ceramic movement of the 1950s–70s. This piece, signed in 1954, represents the height of that era—when ceramics classes were a beloved creative outlet. Every Holland Mold piece is unique, as it was glazed and painted by the artist themselves, often reflecting personal flair and style.
