One of the larger creamers of the EAPG era, this Hobbs Brockunier no. 90 & 98 pattern is also known as Tree-of-Life-with-Hand, c 1879. Of the several Tree of Life patterns, this Hobbs version is most striking. It has a hand holding a ball as the stem, above a ruffled-edged foot. A pair of 2 hands (with forearms) holding a ball comprise the handle. The characteristic interpretive tree with leaves design is shown in a close-up; this part of the pattern is sometimes referred to as a melon design, since it is lobed like a musk melon. In several close-up photos damage to the handle is shown: there is a straight crack in the elbow of the handle, with 2 nearby chips. There is no contre-coup crack in any other part of the handle as is often seen! I have checked it over carefully, and find that the rest of the handle is totally intact. If not for the small chips local to the crack, one would think that it was a fold in the design. Condition is otherwise lovely, with no chips on the base or upper rim, and only a few stress lines in the base (superficial and part of the cooling process). As seen in the first photo, pitcher can be displayed quite nicely. Obviously it needs and deserves TLC. Measures 7 1/8" tall. There are no known repros of this pattern. Buyer to pay for shipping by USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation, 3 lbs. from 06068. #463 |
