    I have tried ChatGPT, chrome image search, etc to ID this item without finding a similar item.

    Bought it an estate sale, it's about 8" high, thick Kelly green glaze, architectural/structural detail (columns), no marks on bottom.

    ChatGPT has suggested the below:

    Antique majolica-style pottery pitcher, c. 1885-1910

    • Unmarked

    • Pale buff clay body with unglazed base

    • Thick, glossy green glaze

    • Architectural column detail

    • Applied handle; visible mold seam

    • Heavy earthenware construction

    • Style aligns with English Staffordshire / Aesthetic Movement production

    • Less consistent with American majolica (clay color, glaze quality, motif)

    Would love any insights or suggestions anyone has to ID/ value

    Doesn't Brush usually have a well impressed model number on the bottom? Or is that a simplistic understanding?

    As it turns out, I found another book I have on Brush McCoy that does show the blue version in the section on Whitestone Bristol Glazed Ware/ Kitchen Ware. They call it Colonial.

    There is nothing showing a version in green.

    From: Sanfords Guide to Brush-McCoy Pottery Book 2

    Quite often computer images make it look like there are shapes, letters etc, where there are none.

    Just wondering if there is a chance there is something impressed, sort of looks like letters.

    Best I can do to enhance
