Peasant Village was a brand made in various countries for importer Mitteldorfer Straus. The company was founded in 1928. The P.V. mark was trademark registered in 1953 and expired in 1994. I believe the company was in business through the 1970's (from what I have read). This is probably from the 1960's or 1970's. Cheerful & attractive design. Not sure if the little turquoise spots are firing flaws or deliberate, (see close-up photographs).
