<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ascot, post: 150283, member: 96&quot;]Your pitcher is shown on p. 46 of Bennington Pottery and Porcelain by Richard Carter Barrett (1958).&nbsp; He calls it &quot;Daffodil Pattern&quot; and dates it 1847-1858. He says it&#039;s an &quot;extremely rare pattern&quot;. There were 2 sizes, 11&quot; tall and 4 1/2&quot; tall. He also says the 11&quot; shown is the only known example. How tall is your pitcher?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I understand that Barrett&#039;s book is controversial. I don&#039;t know a lot of details, but apparently the attribution of some items to Bennington has been questioned. Perhaps someone on this board can provide more information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, I think you can safely assume your pitcher is antique and likely dates to the period Barrett states.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a lover and collector of parian pitchers, all I can say is I love love love it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
