Here's an unusual, antique, country redware pottery pitcher in very good condition. It dates back to the 19th Century and is bulbous-shaped and thick-walled, making it rather heavy. It has brown glaze on the exterior and mustard yellow glaze on the interior and around the rim. It appears the outside was first coated in the mustard color and then glazed over in brown, giving it a speckled look upon closer inspection. The underside isn't glazed and has an old, blackened, grungy patina; almost as if it had been used on a stove or over an open flame. The lower third of this piece has incised floral and vine decorations all the way around. It has a bottom diameter of 4 3/4 inches, an opening that measures 5 1/4 inches across the spout, and a height of 7 1/4 inches. It's well preserved and isn't cracked or all banged up. There is a small chip on the bottom edge; not uncommon for a piece of utility redware from the 1800s. It's a scarce, old, household piece of folk pottery in well-preserved condition!
