This lovely white ironstone pitcher measures 12 inches tall. It is in excellent condition, free of all chips and cracks. Glaze is shiny, and no crazing is evident.
The embossing is very distinctive. Note the elaborate foliate shapes under the spout. It actually looks more like a large flying insect including both head and antennae than it does leaves. Love it! Foliates also appear at both ends of the handle which also has a prominent fruit thumb rest.
This pitcher was shown in Volume 11, No. 1, page 9, of the White Ironstone Collector's Association (WICA) publication as a design that had not been seen before. We are happy to be able to offer it to you.
It dates to the 1850 - 60 decades and was made in the Edward Clarke pottery. It bears the pottery's backstamp and imprinted mark. |
