<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ELHB, post: 74024, member: 921&quot;]Its about 9-10 inches high; not a small pitcher. I could certainly see it as part of a washroom set. I looked up ironstone vs. porcelain but didn&#039;t find much - any advice on how to tell the difference? There is no discoloration or crackling on this pitcher, and the gold appears handpainted.&nbsp; My grandmother was an artist but from a wealthy family... its possible she made or painted it or that it was passed down from her parents. I was curious about the makers mark on the bottom; no stamp, just the etched IU (?).</p><p><br /></p><p>I intend to keep it forever, but I just had twins and am packing it away so it doesn&#039;t get damaged! Hoping to determine if its a &quot;just pack in newspaper with the china&quot; item or a &quot;carefully store and don&#039;t bring out until their 20&quot; item ;-)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
