    For those who are unfamiliar with Desert Sands Pottery, it is hand thrown from a blend of colored clays and often covered with a clear glossy glaze. It was made in Boulder City, Nevada and later in Barstow, California mostly from 1950 through roughly 1980.

    This beverage set consists of a carafe (8 1/2" tall) and four 12-ounce (4 1/4" tall) tumblers. All pieces have the same arched mark which increases the likelihood that this set has always been together.

      Thanks all for the love and comments.
      Yes, in the 60s and 70s there were shelves full of Desert Sands Pottery in every train station, trading post, and truck stop throughout the American Southwest. I think it is those memories that drive our collections today. I have a lot of Desert Sands and still wish I would have bought more.
