We have a Staffordshire Pitcher with “THE BOSTON COMMON” in small print on the neck. The transfer is black. Measures 6 & 1/2″ High and 8 & 3/4″ wide (from tip of lip to handle). Partial mark on bottom of an S in the bottom left corner of what was probably a square with more info.
Pictures on both sides are of the Boston Common: the Brewer Fountain in center, sledding, goat cart, zoo?, cemetery, Liberty Tree, and zoo.
Cabbage rose pattern around the neck (and inside neck) and also on the outside part of the handle.
It’s a wonderful round pitcher, but we cannot find anything about this one! Search for Boston Common online, and all you find are the State House Staffordshire, because there is a “view of the Boston Common” that is associated with that print.
We’re really hoping that someone might have heard of this pattern, or maybe even has one??
Haven’t taken any photos of the jug, but can do it, if needed.
Thank You!! k
Thank you for your input! I’m in MA & have been to Boston many, many times! Yes, I knew about everything on the pitcher but the zoo.
I don’t know, tho, about it being a gravy bost, as it’s larger than any gravy boat I’ve seen, and such a round thing! Very heavy, also!
I’ll try to take a few photos tomorrow & post them. Probably would have been better if I had done that before posting, huh?
But, have you ever heard of this pattern? I’ve been searching all the Staffordshire websites for months, and just about given up on finding anything!
Thanks again & pray I get some good images to show!
