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. |
