Cumbow Lustre Pink & White Vintage Creamer

Copper luster pitcher by Cumbow Pottery of Abingdon, Virginia, features a creamy white glaze accented with a wide copper luster band and hand-painted floral motifs in pink, green, and brown. The scalloped rim and bulbous body are classic to mid-20th-century American folk pottery, while the copper detailing adds a striking sheen and collectible appeal.

The base is hand-inscribed with “Cumbow” and a date-style code likely indicating 1947, aligning it with the studio's peak period of production. Pieces from Cumbow are known for their Appalachian regional influence and hand-decorated charm.
