Antique Victorian Staffordshire Majolica Water Pitcher Circa 1879-1885 Wm. Kirby & Co

Up for your consideration today is an incredible rare Majolica Water Pitcher Made by William Kirby & Co, Fenton, Staffordshire England. This gem was made sometime between 1879 to 1885. Sutherland Pottery as the works were known employed over 190 people during its heyday. Wm. Kirby & Co were known for their high end China and Earthenware, Majolica and Rockingham and having their London Agent at Ely House on Charterhouse Street in Holborn London.

This pitcher is just beautifully detailed with what appears to be a gumball tree. The overall color is a pale green with fall leaves and hanging gumballs. The leaves are a beautiful yellow to brown glaze. There are no chips on the rim and the inside is a beautiful pink rose color that changes to white. There is some beautiful crazing. Not huge but shows what is expected from something that is at least 130 years old! There is also one hairline crack close to where the handle is but it really is insignificant. Two places on the rim with wear shown in pictures.

The Pitcher measures approximately 8 1/2" tall by 7" at its widest point.
