Description:
This is quite the spectacular 19th century European majolica pitcher. It has been a long time since I have seen a specimen like this one. It is highly embossed all the way around the pitcher from scenes of town life. There is tavern scene of men and women drinking. There is another scene of a man and dog warming themselves over a fire along with a scene of two angles chasing a man on horseback and it looks like they are running him out of town – oh some where in the back of my mind I know exactly what this story is but I just can’t think of at the moment. But anyways - the handle is absolutely grand and an unusual one at that. It would almost appear to be a woman’s long hair or possible the tail of a horse with a hand grabbing it on the top. The interior of this pitcher is green and the exterior is in some fiery colors of purple, green, and a sort of amber color. It is truly magnificent! It is in good condition – accept for an old repair to the right top side of the pitcher. It appears to be a professional repair that was done a long time ago. The pitcher is marked on the bottom with the impressed mark JM 17. I feel that even with the repair this was a very worthy majolica item – quite the rare example for the sophisticated collection. It is priced accordingly because of the repair. The pitcher measures approx 12 ˝” at highest with an overall 8 ˝” diameter.
