Thanks for any and all ideas. The pitcher is in excellent condition. The only sign of wear seems to be a bit of missing gold line trim on both sides of the handle where it would be gripped. It is on the large size for a serving pitcher measuring 11" tall and flaring from 5" at the rim to a 6" base; medium weight when empty.

I am not a restorer so not sure if this me this would be appropriate for your piece. However, I have stripped paint from oak wood trim using a power washer. Also stripped a wood deck this way and the wood looked almost new.

Thanks! I have been unable to locate any pottery or porcelain piece by K&G which is even close to the pattern for this pitcher. It does not appear to be typical to this manufacturer.  EBay; worldwide and several US and European websites have yielded no clues.  Any other research suggestions?

 I have a crock type water or milk pitcher without any decoration other than gold trim at handle and spout. The mark K et G Luneville France shows manufactured between 1890 and 18902015. It is very different than typical K&G pottery of that period. I have been unable to fine any information on history or value.  Is anyone familiar with this K& G piece?
