    Description

    On offer is this
    antique, very bold beautiful & impressive
    "Societe Ceramique, MAESTRICHT, Made in
    Holland
    "
    I have researched the markings underneath and found that it dates to about 1887. Over
    130 years
    old
    !!
    As you can see the floral depiction is
    crimson
    ,
    various shades of green
    and
    black
    and
    white
    with some
    gold trim
    on the handle and on the wavy edge of the top of the pitcher. The flowers look like poppies to me. Quite striking!! The pitcher stands about 10" tall and the base diameter is approx 6 3/4" and the piece weighs 2 lbs 13 oz. Looks
    very impressive
    when on display (see pics 1,10, 11 & 12)  For an approximate "visual" of size, see pic 3 for comparison alongside of
    a regular can of Coke
