CREAMEWARE PITCHER DEPICTING THE AMERICAN SHIP SOUTH CAROLINA. Polychrome colored port view of the vessel under full sail. Reverse with a patriotic monument to George Washington with his birth and death dates and slogans "First in War First in Peace First in Fame First in Virtue". Scene surrounded by the names of the 13 original states with Kentucky substituted for Rohde Island. Under the spout within an oval border "A MAN/without example/A PATRIOT/without reproach". Below that the initials "H E" within an acorn and leaf border. Below the handle is an American Eagle/Seal of the United States. Height 10 1/2". Condition very nice. Supposedly had some minor professional restoration along the top of the rim and spout which, to my eye, is undetectable.
We are always interested in purchasing nautical antiques. If you are selling one piece or your entire collection we would appreciate hearing from you.
