Petrus Regout Maastricht TIMOR Pitcher This pitcher stands about 6" tall at the tallest point. It is ceramic and in great condition except for a chip underneath the pour spout. I've tried to capture the Pitcher and the defect as best I can in my pictures. I have no way of telling how old this piece is except the for the fact that the producing company changed their stamp (see picture of bottom of pitcher) circa 1878 when Petrus's sons took over the company after his death. It's truly a beautiful piece but just not my style. It was rescued from my grandfather's house sometime after his passing. My grandfather was known for having antique items all over, mostly family pieces. My research on the producing company revealed the following information: The Maastricht China Co. - Maastricht, Holland - 1834 to present. Petrus Regout founded a glass and crystal works company in Maastricht, Holland in 1834. In 1836 he expanded and included the De Sphinx Pottery in hopes of introducing Ironstone China. 1836 - 1870 - Petrus Regout made dinnerware in the style of English Ironstone decorated with primarily single color (blue, black, violet or red) transfer printed patterns with scenic and romantic themes. The patterns for export to England and America were stamped in English and included: "Amasone", "Mythology", "Pleasure Party", "Ruth & Boaz","Wild Rose" and "Willow". The mark used was a double oval with P. Regout at the top Maastricht at the bottom and a number in the center. In 1870 multi-color decals began to be used. 1878 - Regout died and his sons reorganized the company and adopted the Sphinx trademark and backstamp. Pieces are usually marked with the pattern name. The firm is now called N.V. Konmklijke Sphinx. Since 1974 Maastricht has been part of the British company Reed International. Other potteries in Maastricht during the 1840's and 1850's were: N.A. Bosch, W.N. Clermont and Ch. Chainaye, and G. Lambert & Co. I've included two additional pictures of the manufacturers stamps (the last two shown which are of just the stamps). These WERE NOT TAKEN from this piece but rather were found in my research. My thought is that maybe I can help another eBayer identify their items they collect or desire to sell. Thanks for looking and I hope you bid.
