Pony Revival pieces.

This is a breath-taking gallery of Pony items from the Revival era. All the pieces were made by Mosser for Gary Levi.

Tony told us that their “Pony collection was purchased directly from Gary and Dodie for the most part with a few pieces found out ‘in the wild’.” He further explained that he was “not sure about the number of Pony pieces made by shape or by color, but I know no more that 100 of any color” were produced, adding "I suspect a few of these pieces are one of a kind, especially all of the painted examples."

After the initial Revival era re-issue of the Pony items by Westmoreland for L.G. Wright in the 1970s (see our NetworK ezine #91 for the original Wright catalogue illustration in 1976) the Pony mould was then used to make a variety of Carnival examples at Mosser for Gary Levi (Levay Glass). Red and vaseline opal Pony plates and bowls were made by Mosser in 2004. Tony tells us that some of the other colors (as shown in the gallery here) were made a year or two later, indeed the DeMichaels have some signed in 2006 and 2007.

There is a number shown on each piece: the number corresponds to the details of each piece which is included at the foot of the page.
