The Ultimate Brown Transferware Pitcher!! Aesthetic Period - late 1800s - Pomegranate Motif is perfect for the holidays! A beautifully potted example of fine Staffordshire ironstone, by Challinor & Mayer, a firm renowned for its detailed, inventive motifs and classic shapes. C&M did not produce as much transferware as some of the other Staffordshire potters, and large examples such as this pitcher are extremely rare. This has been in my personal collection for a number of years, and if we weren't downsizing, I would never give it up! This large pitcher proudly stands 10-3/4" tall, measures about 26" around, and is in pristine, mint condition. I suspect that it was never used, or very rarely -- the interior is spotless, too. There is some very fine crazing beneath the glaze -- not discolored, and very hard to discern unless you hold the pitcher in front of your nose. The pitcher is beautifully proportioned and has a nice, hefty weight. Glossy, smooth white glaze with no crazing, and lavishly decorated with detailed pomegranates , branches and leaves. The neck of the pitcher repeats the leaf motif on a smaller scale, against a geometric, "woven-look" background interspersed with half-rounds of daisies. The handle has a thumbrest and features flowers down its spine. This pitcher embodies the Aesthetic Period's fascination with Nature read more
