Vintage 1970s Wade Style USA 892 Strawberry Chip & Dip Divided Dish Ceramic 13"
This vintage strawberry chip and dip serving dish is a playful example of Mid-Century novelty ceramic serveware, designed in the Wade California Pottery style. The sculptural form features two integrated serving wells divided by a raised cluster of glossy red strawberries with textured green leaves, creating a bold decorative centerpiece. Its flowing, organic shape is well suited for serving chips and dip, fruit and spreads, or small appetizers during casual gatherings.
Finished in a rich olive-green glaze with subtle tonal variation, the dish reflects the novelty themes and earthy color palettes popular in Mid-Century and Mid-Century Modern ceramics. The underside is marked “USA © 892,” indicating American production and a registered design or mold number commonly used on mid-20th-century ceramic serveware. Both functional and decorative, this piece appeals to collectors of vintage kitchenware and fruit-motif ceramics and displays beautifully in a retro-inspired kitchen or dining setting.
