Item 7604
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Rare Embossed Pitcher by Whites Pottery of Utica, N.Y. 
 
It was made by Whites between 1890 and 1907 when they made its fabulous molded stoneware. 
 
This beauty features a Bark-Like Surface with Twig Handle.  One side features the bust of a goddess framed by Leaves and a Butterfly, and the Other Side features the Sprig of a Rose and a Butterfly.  What is so unusual is that this pitcher has cobalt sponging over the entire surface.  Quite the visual!  For crying out loud, why did Whites not make more of these pieces???  Stands 8" tall.
 
Very Good Condition. A 1/2" chip on top of the left side of the spout (closeup), a Y on the underside not seen inside, and some surface wear on some raised embossed decoration.  No base chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.
