Comments

The small lusterware molded pitcher or creamer has a wide, bulbous body below a cylindrical neck with beading near the rim and stands on a thick foot.  A large spout is opposite a C scroll handle.  Copper and pink luster decorates the pitcher.  Copper appears as wide bands, including the handle and spout.  Smaller white bands have cross-hatched patterns in pink, green, and yellow.  The inside is coated in pink luster (lustre) glaze.
