12 ½" x 7" with a 5 diameter base From a Richmond, Va estate, this late 19th/early 20th century glazed earthenware pitcher is in fine condition and it displays beautifully. It's quite heavy, weighing 3.7 lbs. On the ribbed, red body, 2 happy, old men monks? Are climbing up a mountainside and one is offering the other a hand. Around the top of the pitcher is a flambé glaze in shades of blue.

Near the base of the handle is a blue and white glazed porcelain cartouche with the signature of the maker. This has been kept in perfect condition, apparently displayed only.

The interior is entirely glazed, so this could be used as a vase. Colorful sumida pottery refers to a style of applied figures in high relief on a surface with flowing glaze. It was created specifically for export between the late 1800s and the 1920s. It was still produced until World War II and then just briefly after the war, but this pottery is no longer being made.
