Comments

The pitcher has the same images of a cherub amid foliage on seach side.  The rim is deeply scalloped and outlined with a thick bead.  The handle has cusp-like modeling at the top.  The glaze exhibits iridescence.  All of these features suggest a later date of manufacture for this pitcher.  The body is colored a deeper yellow than usual.
