Copper Lusterware pitcher with Hand Painted, Enameled Floral Design, Victorian, Possible Staffordshire
$45.00
This wonderful small pitcher is a beautiful example of Victorian, English made Copper Lusterware. The pitcher has a hand painted, enameled floral design on either side of the body. Carefully running your fingers over the paint, it feels like this lovely design was added after the pitcher was made as there is a raised pattern that can be felt beneath the paint. This very subtle raised pattern, of fruits, flowers, vines and leaves exists near the rim of the pitcher, basically encircling the lip. The pitcher is in very good condition, the body shows no evidence of repairs, chips, cracks or loss to the copper glaze. The enameled motif has chips to the paint, though in a pattern that almost appears intentional and at most to me is a minimal distraction. Please refer to photos for full perspective.
Copper Lusterware was made between the 1820s and 1850s in England. It became popular because it reflected a warm light on a tea table or cabinet for those who could not afford silver. These pieces were made by coating a pottery vessel white glaze and followed by a
a copper salt glaze, which resulted in the reflective copper luster color.
The pitcher measures approx. 6 5/8 inches tall from the base to the spout, the body is approx. 4 1/2 inches across at the widest point, and from the handle to spout is approx. 5 3/4 inches wide. The base is approx. 3 3/8 inches in diameter.
