Great vintage find! This is another lot of fabulous pottery from my grandparents. This is a substantial ironstone bowl & pitcher marker Empress ironstone Staffordshire England. It has a light colored body with decals of either apple or cherry blossoms. The pieces have overall crazing of the glaze. I have run my finger over this piece and can not find any chips/cracks or 'flea bites'- with exception of the unglazed band at the base which does have some scuffing ( see pic).The pieces do have a few bumps & pits. Please review pictures and ask any questions needed to make an informed purchase decision.The pitcher dimensions are approx 11 1/2" tall from base to tallest point of the handle & approximately 9" across the widest point at the middle of the pitcher. The piece tapers to 4 5/8" diameter at the base. The bowl is 16 1/2" across at the widest point, approx 4 3/4" tall and 7 7/8"across the length of the unglazed base. There is a 1/2" long crack on the lip base which is a production flaw that would have occurred after the piece was poured and taken from the mold. Items will be insured and securely packed- don't miss this lot!A note from Marsha:Hi and thanks for viewing my item.

Otherwise, please review pictures carefully before purchase and ask any questions needed to make an informed purchase decision. I make every attempt to properly research items, and would never intentionally publish inaccurate info, but we all can make a mistake. On the subject of item descriptions, I make every attempt to closely scrutinize the condition of my items. More often than not, I will overemphasize flaws as I would rather you be pleasantly suprised than dissapointed. Please remember, however, that I deal in vintage items from thrifts, flea markets and estate sales- such items are rarely perfect. As stated, these are not without flaw.Packaging- I am a proponent of recycling and utilize reclaimed cardboard, newsprint, plastic grocery bags, etc to package my items.
