Subject:Swan Pitcher
Posted By: Daniel Drabek Fri, Jul 25, 2008 IP: 74.220.71.42 I picked up this large pitcher at the flea market to use as a vase to hold flowers. I thought it might possibly be some kind of majolica ware. I paid only a few dollars for it, but it looked like it had some age. There is no mark on the bottom. |

Posted By: Theresa Fri, Mar 19, 2010 I have a very, very similar pitcher I would love to find out more about, but can't seem to find anything either. Mine has markings on the bottom, and is colored very differently. I saw one just like yours at an up-scale antique store, and I believe they wanted $125 for it. Mine has two marks that I can't find anywhere - it might be asian, but it might be something else. Anyone who knows anything, please let me know - I'd love to learn more. Thanks! |

Posted By: Meredith Swan Tue, Sep 19, 2017 Just brought an identical pitcher to the Antiques Roadshow in Newport RI. I was told it was made in Staffordshire, probably in 1910 or so. It is a replica of one made in the 1850's. It is part of a set that would have sat in a bedroom for washing up. The other piece was a bowl. Value around $100. |
