This tall, Majolica serving pitcher has a wishbone handle and alternating horizontal stripes that feature the words: "What tho my eates be poor, take them in good part, Better cheer may you have But not with better heart."
We are hosting a number of antique Majolica pieces from a large Baltimore collection. Some will include their past sales receipts and histories as noted by the antique dealers who sold them.
Dimensions: 8 1/2" tall x 3 1/2" opening.
Marks/Dates: 1880's. Impressed "Wedgwood" on the bottom.
Condition: There is a hairline (as shown), and a little crazing, but not significant or unexpected in such an old piece.
Most Victorian-era majolica have not survived their 100+ years without imperfections, including discoloration, crazing, small chips, and hairlines. We will note these to the best of our ability, but please ask for additional photos, if you are unclear on their condition.
