This patriotic creamware pitcher was made in England for American export, measuring 6.5” tall x 5.5” diameter, having no repairs seen and is completely intact.

One side depicts a Portrait of General Pike with an inscription above his image that reads: “Be Aways ready to die for your country / Pike.” His image is surrounded with cannon and drum in the foreground and American Flags and decorative militaria.

The opposite side displays an American Flag Warship (USS Constitution) behind the Portrait of Captain Isaac Hull, above headed: “Captain Hull of the Constitution.” The flags in both of these transfer prints show 13 Horizontal Bars, yet have no Stars. The glaze over the black transfer prints shows light wear. No chips or cracks visible, and as expected the bottom rim edge has some wear.
