This is an exceptional all original blue and white stoneware pitcher with an excellent molded design of a cluster of grapes on either side of the pitcher. This pitcher is referred to as, 'Grape with Rick Rack pitcher' on page 16 in the reference book, 'Stoneware in the Blue and White, - by M.H. Alexander'.

Again, on the very bottom of the pitcher there is an impressed 'Star' on the bottom, for the North Star signature. All original very good condition. The top opening is approximately 4 1/4" diameter.
