Shawnee Pottery, based in Zanesville, Ohio, was known in the 1930s–1950s for its cheerful, durable kitchenware. Their whimsical figural pieces—like this chick pitcher—were especially beloved and often gifted as baby shower keepsakes or seasonal table decor. Shawnee used a two-step firing process that ensured bright glazes and lasting quality. Collectors often pair these with other Shawnee classics like corn pitchers or smiling animal cookie jars. This “Chickadee” piece is one of their rarer forms and is frequently mistaken for an owl or birdie creamer due to its rounded shape and expressive face.
