Antique Questions Forum / Re: Looking for any info on a pitcher and now a stein

Yes I looked inside the pitcher in every direction and outside in the bright sunlight, but don't see anything.  Is one of the things that make you think it's English the shape of the handle?  Just trying to learn something new.

And today while out running errands I couldn't help but stop and do some "treasure" hunting, spent $6.50 and came home with two items. 

I found a ceramic stein that I thought was nice. Have no idea of the age and looked online for anything about the mark on the bottom but couldn't find anything. So again any help would be appreciated. It has an overall light crazing on it and a nick on the bottom edge. It's 7" tall.

And I found a vase that I thought looked like it was from the 50's or 60's that said France on the bottom and I couldn't make out the rest with the glasses I had on, but took that too. It was in perfect condition and stands 7" tall. Reminded me the type of vases in neighbor's homes when I was growing up. When I got it home I could make out B. Latelle, France, a mark (hard to see) and I couldn't quite make out the number. It's incised not stamped. I put one picture up of that too.

I appreciate everyone's input and have been reading other posts finding them informative and interesting.


Here is the link again to those pictures.

Thanks for the replies so far.  I think it's pretty even with all teh crazing.  There is a picture at the webshots link in my first post that was taking looking into the pitcher from the top.

HI, I am trying to find out anything I can about a small ceramic (?) pitcher and any help would be appreciated. What I do know about it is that it was in my great aunt's antique store in Michigan when she closed the store around 1940. It is 7" high and 6" from the end of the handle to the end of the spout. I cannot find an identifying mark on it. Also any significance to the cutout(besides decorative)in the top of the pitcher? I have posted multiple pictures of it at the following site.
