Spongeware Pitcher c. 1850

7&3/4x5&1/2 inches. Great colors! Concitered black and blue but to my eye it looks a rich green. Three blue bands. Very nice example of 1850s everyday ware. At the time sponge ware was considered bargain priced service ware. Today the pieces that survived are highly collectible. The major appeal is due in large part to the minimalism it represents.
Fun fact in 30 years they will be 200 years old.
Very fine example in museum condition.
Note the last 2 pictures show the makers thumb print.
Consider a form of signature for the time.
Also note a matching bowl list here to.
