Doulton Lambeth Pitcher; 1893 Chicago Columbian Exhibition; Columbus; Washington

Description

Pleased to offer a wonderful commemorative Doulton Lambeth World Columbian Exposition Stoneware Jug; 1893.  This is a bold design, featuring molded relief busts of George Washington, Christopher Columbus and the American Eagle with three rows of raised stars.  The stars on the top row flank "The Columbian Exhibition 1893" (also known as The Chicago World's Fair).  The base is a rich cobalt blue. the inside bands are a rich, creamy dark beige and the busts are light cream pate sur pate relief
.  The lip is small and the handle is low key, featuring small curlicues.  There is a small chip on the lip directly above Washington's cameo that would be an easy fix if you wish to.  Other than that it's in great shape.  The bottom is highly marked with the Doulton Lambeth mark, ENGLAND, h o deeply impressed and two other marks that I can't read.  It measures 7.5" by 7" and is heavy, weighing 2 lbs 12 oz..
Just a beautiful piece !
