<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmybob97, post: 4398270, member: 60340&quot;]I have decided to post to this forum because I&#039;m quite lost in determining the age, manufacturer and possible place of origin of my white glazed water pitcher. I picked this piece up at an antique mall for about 20 dollars and it was marked as &quot;very early water pitcher&quot;. Now I don&#039;t know what &quot;early&quot; is in their books, because water pitchers have been around since antiquity, but upon looking at it, I determined it&#039;s likely no older than 18th century. This is in the United States, so they were likely referencing colonial North America. </p><p><br /></p><p>As can be observed in the photos below, this pitcher has no makers mark and the bottom appears to have been glazed over as well, something I found odd. The amount of pin-holing in the glaze is crazy, and the crazing in the glaze appears to be random. Another thing I found odd is that there are certain areas where it looked like it chipped and was glazed over, most notably the large chip on the base of the pitcher. There also appears to be some kind of line that can be distinguished upon looking at it in front of the spout. This line cannot be distinguished from the inside of the pitcher, so I don&#039;t know what that is about.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could go on, but I don&#039;t want this to be a super long post. If anybody can help in determining any one of the following: age, maker and place of origin, that would be extremely appreciated, thank you!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]371529[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371530[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371531[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371532[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371533[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371534[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371535[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
