Now isn't this just going to be the just Absolutely PERFECT Christmas gift for that SPECIAL someone???This EXCEPTIONAL Antique German Handthrown Stoneware SaltGlaze Pitcher reminds me of the WESTERWALD type keramik steins made in the mid-1800's or so.Now, I'm NO expert in Antique German ceramic stoneware, but the age of this piece really shows, especially the EARLY type Cobalt and dark Violet glazes used, as well as the VERY FANCY incised decoration, that to me, smacks of 1840 - 1860.The graceful, angular form leans a bit toward the softer, Jugendstil / Art Nouveau style (but not by decoration) which might put this closer to 1875 - 1880.This ewer/ pitcher is SIGNED on the bottom but I cannot discern the maker. Maybe one of you would be so kind as to enlighten us with an attribution, and we thank you in advance.This was recently rescued form a magnificent OLD Alpine estate where it was displayed for the most SPECIAL occasions.Measures 9.5" tall. Opening measures 1.75" diameter, base measures 5" across.WE'RE GOING TO BE QUIET NOW AND LET THE PHOTOS DO THE TALKING .....please examine them closely.CONDITIONMINT, (means NO condition issues, structural or cosmetic) ~ and we do NOT use that term unless it applies~!We highly doubt you'll be disappointed~!FYI, BEFORE YOU BID.....We STAND BY our condition descriptions as being accurate~please examine the photos carefully as well.If you have any questions or concerns, or need to see another picture, please email us or call us directly as we DO NOT sell our items on APPROVAL.We can give you MANY, MANY references in the Vintage Modernist Design world~ important ,high profile collectors AND dealers who have done repeat business with me for nearly 30 years, and testify to the integrity of what we've sold them.Pease note (again) this is a 7 day auction of a freshly rescued treasure from an OLD Alpine Estate, NOT TO BE MISSED~!Take a peek at our OTHER VINTAGE AUCTIONS, you'll be GLAD you did~!Good Luck Bidding and God Bless from Mikala & Pila.

Since selling on Ebay as of October 1997, only ONE buyer received an item broken, and it was UPS's fault. Needless to say, we no longer use UPS, period.
