Antique Bamboo & Basketweave Majolica Pitcher

This is an attractive majolica pitcher in the bamboo and basket weave pattern. The pitcher measures 7 3/4″ high, with a 3 1/2″ diameter opening at the top and is 5 1/2″ diameter at the widest. This is a nice piece of Banks & Thorley majolica, from Hanley, England with a circa of 1850 to 1880. Note the mark on the bottom of the pitcher. This same pitcher is featured in ‘The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Majolica’, on page 56. What a great addition to any collection this piece would make.
