Unmarked Pitcher
« on: February 19, 2012, 11:51:24 am »
I have this pitcher thats 7" tall and 7" wide with the handle. There are no markings on it anywhere. I'm not too confident this pitcher is old but if anyone recognizes it please let me know.

Looks to be a cream pitcher at that size !!  Bottom doesn`t show any age !!  Too white and too clean !!

It looks like a lot of stuff that is made in Portugal but thats a wild guess. Is it light in weight,?

I thought it looked like a cream pitcher too mart but I thought it may have been too big for that. I agree it looks too clean to be very old.

It could be from Portugal frogpatch but I actually thought it was heavier than it looked. I have a charger that I got from the same place as the pitcher. I know the charger is from the 90's but I still don't really know who made it or where it is from.

If you are in the US it would have been marked if it was imported...unless brought in by hand.

Do believe that yours is a modern piece from the looks/colors/style.

Thanks everyone! I'm always afraid I'm going to give away an antique thinking it was something modern. I think that has to feel just as bad as buying something you thought was antique only to find out its really a repro.

No that feels worse unless you paid a lot for the repro. I have a bunch of whatsits that i was afraid to sell. Especially artworks. We have all let one slip away once. Passing one up and finding out later sucks too. I could tell you about the Biedermeier piece that I saw and hesitated. Gone in five minutes ouch! Stickley too. Double Ouch!
