    My wife picked this up on a recent trip and surprised me with it for Christmas. Totally caught me off guard as I really don't collect much stuff. I am really liking this piece though.

    I'm just looking for confirmation on what I have. I'm fairly certain it is 1922-1926, Mulberry, Yucca Leaf, and shape #747

    The blue is a lot more subdued than what the picture shows. It really popped when light hits it.

    Thanks in advance for any additional info or ID correction :)

    I saw that page (as well as a few others) That is how I was able to hobble together the info I have. It is always nice to get a solid confirmation though.

    The thing that confuses me (not hard to do) is they often/usually had the finishers marks as well, and I don't see that here.
    I do not think this is a repro though!

    Nice piece and correct ID. The block letters with the USA mark are definitive. Most pieces from this era do not have any extra marks. They are usually found on the very early pots and those produced much later.

    Brad,

    Thank you for the confirmation. It is really appreciated. I had guessed the color was Mulberry before I did any online searching. I guess I am learning a thing or two hanging around here.
