Japanese Pottery Pitcher

Got this at a yard sale today. It's about 9" tall. It was cute and everything in the kitchen was $1, so it was a bargain. It's not as yellow as the photos show. Bad lighting. It says Made in Japan in script.

 

that's very pretty........for serving OJ...I'd imagine !

 

For $1, I couldn't pass it up.

 

I don't blame you....it's adorable!!

 

Somewhere, I have a corn pitcher, too. In the summer we rent rooms to J1 foreign student workers and there's a lot of traffic in the house. I put away anything I don't want broken.

 

You are a busy lady........with a big house it seems.

Tell us more.

 

The 1870 portion of the house has a living room, a sitting room, a formal dining room, a large room we've turned into a downstairs bath & laundry room, an eat-in kitchen and what was once the "breakfast room" is now my office for our business. Upstairs are a bathroom and five bedrooms. We added an apartment over the garage and shop for our son & grandson and there's a large room connecting it to the main house that is an upstairs laundry room and office. It's always full of people because when you own a house on the Cape with extra rooms, everyone eventually finds their way to your door.

 

I took a photo in full daylight to show the real color. The only 'orangey' portion is the handle. I don't really see an orange here, except for the bumpy surface and the leaves. Would it have faded??

 

then the handle would have faded too....?
still looks like an orange though...

 

Hi,
The handle is a stem and would be brown. Orange might have been a fugitive color when this was made.

hummmm.....nice thinking.....

 

A very big home......with a heart(s) to fill it. Otherwise people would not eventually find their way to your door.

And now I know the rest of the story!!

TY!

 

A "fugitive" color. Interesting.
