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
Ok,So maybe it’s not a gravy Pitcher. It is a pitcher with a pour spout, it pour’s something. Milk, cream, or water, anything that’a liquid. Back then I’m sure they used it for something liquid just as many of us do today. At Xmas time or any holiday when I have family I use a pyrex measuring cup with a spout for my gravy. Yes, they do make many thing’s heavy even to this day. Try picking up your Gramma’s old leaded glass pitcher full of milk.
