Price: US $91.00

Description: A large Blue & Gray Stoneware Pitcher attributed to White\'s of Utica, 1-Gallon capacity New York State, early-1890\'s. The integrated turned wood Bail handle aided in serving Ale, Cider or Beer. Bulbous, molded form with \"Bulldog\" pour spout and applied \"Serpent\" handle. Detailed, embossed scenes about the body feature an elderly couple seated at a table reading \"Good News\", and a seated gentleman with cane in retrospective thought. Prosit (to Good Health, Cheers) is impressed mid-body below the spout and handle. The bail wire inserts into interesting faux, star-shaped \"Nuts\" on either side. Heavily textured ground, with additional rim and base rope details. Strong cobalt accents on handle, incised banding and the detailed, relief decorations. Impressed on the base with a \"3\". A rare and desirable Serving Pitcher that will feature prominently any collection of American Stoneware.


Condition: Some expected base and rim wear, and general soiling throughout; otherwise in Very Good to Excellent, as-made condition with bold color and embossing. Inherent surface, glaze and mold imperfections created at the time of manufacture noted for descriptive accuracy. The bail wire is oxidized, but still fully functional as a pouring aid. Displays brilliantly. This is a fine White\'s Utica example that will not disappoint. See photos for complete details and close-ups. Please consider them as part of the description. Approximate 1-Gallon capacity; measures 10-1/2\"H x 8-3/8\"W overall, including the handle. The base, body and rim diameters are 5\", 7-1/4\" and 4-1/4\"\", respectively. Weighs over 5lbs.
