Lovely cream colored antique small pitcher made by William Brownfield pottery in England. The designs around the top rim are greek inspired. The jug has a fine textured finish with a simple leaf design around the center, bottom, spout and top of handle. Sturdy construction with some wear on the tip of the spout. Otherwise in very good condition. Marked Argos.30, 2/79 on the bottom. Other markings are not legible. The second item is a light blue covered container with handles by the same maker. This one is marked similarly on the bottom but states "8/82". The blue container has discoloration throughout which does not come off with a washing. The pitcher measures 7" tall by 5" wide with a 3" base. The blue container measures appx. 5.5" tall, 5.5" from handle to handle and has a 3" base. Note that Brownfield were potters in Cobridge, North Staffordshire , England, from about 1837 until the 1890’s. They were one of the most prolific manufacturers of moulded pottery and exhibited internationally. Please see all photos for details.
