Pitcher 1849 - 1858

This creamware pitcher, made by the United States Pottery Company between 1849 and 1858, is a beautiful example of 19th-century American ceramics. The pitcher features a delicate floral pattern in gold, along with a band of blue and gold vines and grapes. The elegant, slightly bulbous shape, and the intricate details of the floral design, highlight the craftsmanship of the era. The pitcher's delicate ornamentation and elegant design are reminiscent of English ceramics of the same period, suggesting the influence of the European tradition on American pottery.
