Cutty Sark Scotch Whisky Large Pottery Water Pitcher This is a neat advertising distillery item collectible, a large ceramic or pottery pitcher associated with Cutty Sark Scotch Whisky. It is ivory colored with black graphic designs on all sides, with a black line drawing of the Cutty Sark Clipper Ship or Sailing Ship marked 1869 on one side, a black line drawing of "Captain John Willis of the Cutty Sark" with "Old White Hat" wording on the opposite side, and midway under the spout the words "Cutty Sark Scotch Whisky" surrounded by a floral graphic. There is a black line on the large side handle and another black line circling the pitcher near the top rim.

The pitcher stands about 6 1/2 inches tall, measures about 7 1/4 inches greatest width, about 4 3/4 inches in depth and has a round base with a diameter of 3 3/4 inches. On the underside of the base are the impressed letters "TLH", the impressed number "90" on the rim, and the words stamped in black in a half circle "Imported by the Buckingham Corp. NY., NY. Distilled, Blended & Bottled in Scotland '86". We believe this indicates this piece was made and distributed as an advertising collectible in 1986 (or maybe 1990 from the impressed "90"?). We've provided 8 images to show from all sides and details. Please note that the white "hot spots" are lighting reflection from the camera on the glossy surface. For shipment purposes, this piece is heavy for it's size and weighs slightly over 2 pounds unpacked.

Wonderful condition with no chips, cracks or crazing. There are some in-manufacture pin/pit dots and stray transfer dots, as well as some expected darkening from sitting on the underside rim, but nothing to report that is a problem at all.

A terrific piece which would make a great addition to any collection of distillery advertising items, a collection of nautical or clipper ship or sailing ship related items, or a general collection of pitchers. Very clean and also highly usable as a fun item to use in a bar or entertaining situation.
