Description
Offered for sale is this antique (Late 1800's) Bennington / Rockingham glazed pottery pitcher embossed with Heron in the Marshes motif along with oak leaves and acorns and a goat head pouring spout.  The handle is even interesting as it has a snake entwined around it.  The pitcher measures 8 1/2" tall and 8 3/4"  from pouring spout to handle.  Condition is good with exception of the photographed chip on the one side that also includes a tight hairline traveling about 5 1/2 inches down the side of the pitcher.  There also exists typical crazing as might be expected from a pottery piece of well over 125+ years.  Even with these flaws the pitcher will display very well in your country kitchen or within your collection of this type of ware.  There is no makers mark but this pitcher is usually attributed to Edwin Bennett Pottery of Baltimore.   Thanks for taking a look at it!

About Us
Mostly all of my items come from estate sales, yard sales, consignment stores, other dealers, auctions, and my own personal collections. I try my very best to accurately describe the items I offer. If I am not really sure about the best method of cleaning an item I will leave it as found. Most of the items are antique or vintage and most always USED and because of that I cannot guarantee whether an item has been exposed to pets, smoke or other allergens. Please know that I typically begin ALL of my auctions with LOW starting bids. This practice in NO way reflects the quality of the item. I do this with hope and faith the bidder recognizes quality and has knowledge of the items worth. Please check my feedback to see how other buyers view my products and services.
Contact Us
If for any reason you have a question about an item please feel free to contact me through eBay messaging. I will try my best to respond to you as quickly as possible. I would encourage your questions well in advance of the last day of the sale. I answer e-mails usually within 24 hours.
