    Sweet insulator. 3.5 inches tall, 3.25 inches at its widest point. Mottled glaze in several colors - looks like it may have an orange glaze under it all. I would call it 'forest camo'! Glaze is slightly iridescent, hard to tell in photo. No maker's marks.

    Only ONE teeny fleabite on the whole thing! Made of White Porcelain. There are 2 inches of screw threads up inside it that are in perfect condition. Not sure if this was ever used in the field.

    Any ideas? Is this a real insulator or a fantasy piece?

      Mud insulators?
    2. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      Is that the color?

      Even though the exposed material is white? That ring on the bottom is the unglazed portion.

      Might have been made by Ohio Pottery Co. or Pittsburgh, who often didn't mark their pieces. Seams on side that go up to the top?
