MCM Lazy Susan Set

This is a vintage Mid-Century Modern ceramic serving set consisting of a lazy susan with rotating compartments and a covered serving bowl. The set features olive/avocado green glazed ceramic compartments alternating with white/cream colored sections, all mounted on a wooden rotating base. The design is characteristic of 1960s-70s entertaining ware with its earth-tone color palette and geometric styling.

The lazy susan appears to measure approximately 12-14 inches in diameter with individual serving compartments that are roughly 4-5 inches wide. The separate covered bowl is estimated at 6-8 inches in diameter. One of the olive-colored compartments bears the marking "CALIF USA" with additional characters, indicating California pottery origin. The wooden base shows some age-appropriate wear and darkening, while the ceramic pieces display minor crazing typical of vintage glazed pottery but are otherwise in good condition.

Based on the California pottery marking and Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, this set likely dates to the 1960s-1970s era. The combination of the distinctive avocado green color, geometric form, and California origin suggests this could be from a notable pottery manufacturer of that period. In the current vintage/collectibles market, a complete set in this condition would likely be valued between $75-150 USD, with the value driven by the growing demand for authentic Mid-Century Modern entertaining pieces and California pottery.
