Antique blue and white stoneware table pitcher. Being sold as a collectible display item, not for food use as it is antique and is probably not up to today's standards for safe food or liquid usage or storage. A similar pitcher is shown in the 1981 book on Blue/White Stoneware by K. McNerney, pg. 67; see photo #8. The book price on that one was $350.00 The pitcher in the book just has a different shaped handle and a slightly different stencil design. This pitcher is 7 inches tall and has a 2.5 inch long tight hairline with a fleabite on the top of it. It also has some noticeable glaze pops and glaze misses which are common on this old stoneware. See all photos. These pitchers were used at the table for buttermilk and milk and are not easy to find. Since this is really only for display today, I do not consider the hairline as much of a flaw; it displays fine on the other side. Bottom is 5.5 wide. 1/16
