[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 596498, member: 201"]This pitcher is unmarked and I don't know it's age or origin. Is anyone familiar with it? My editing to show the detail made the surface look a bit shiny, but it actually has a finish that's semi-matte (satin?). It's a fairly true white and about 5-1/2" tall to the top of the handle. The bottom doesn't appear to have much wear, so I'm thinking it may not be very old. I think I picked it up around 15 years ago in an antiques or resale shop. In the third image, there's what looks like a cauldron and a person with a tall cone hat. Do you think it's supposed to be a witch? If so, I'm wondering if the scene could be from a fairy tale? Any and all thoughts very welcome! :) [ATTACH=full]177447[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]177448[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]177449[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]177450[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]177451[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
