Coors Porcelain Objects

[taropatch]

Couple porcelain objects. One is "thimble-like" and the other like a little teapot cover. What is it and why does it say "Coors U.S.A" on them. The "thimble-like" has a code L-H below the Coors wording and the other has a code of F-45. They measure about an inch across.

Coors made porcelain lab ware.I think that is a crucible.

A lot of this is listed as vintage or antique, when it is modern. Hard to tell with this type of lab ware.

During Prohibition they started producing more non-beer items. Helped them and many other places to survive.

I live near golden and the Coors plant. They produced a wide range of porcelain items during Prohibition. They fequently are seen in local antiques store around the Denver metro area. I personally own a miniture beer mug [about 1 1/2 inches tall] with the coors logo that I bought a few years back.

Thank you for your input and insight on this subject. That name associated with beer threw me off track completely.

Any history to the pieces, or you're just curious?
