Title: My English pitcher of curiosity.
Post by: SamCogar on May 09, 2008, 12:06:09 AM

Now here for sure is a pitcher of English origin, but that is all I know about it other than it is colorful ...... and kinda purty.

It is 8 ? inches high and in excellent shape ...... except a teeny tiny chip on the very tip of the spout.

So, here's hopeing you all can cure my curiosity and tell me all about it.

Thanks, Sam C

I think it's spongeware Sam. The pattern is Printemps (Spring in French) and the maker was Baker's of Fenton, Staffordshire. See more about them here: http://www.thepotteries.org/photos/fenton_james_kent/index.htm

Thank you Anne, Rose,

I was hopeing you would tell me it was a "rare garage sale find".  :jstr:

Its different and the "oddball" of the seven (7) pitchers sitting across the top of the wife's kitchen cabinets.

I like the "oldies", thus the other 6 are my favorites, ..... five (5) of which are stoneware of different designs and colors and the 6th is porcelain with tons of cobalt decorations. Maybe ...... I'll take a group picture of them to show ya my "primitive taste" or would that be "taste for primitives". ha
