Description
A fantastic white ironstone 2 spouted pitcher in very fine condition. The design is a 10-sided body. Hallmark on the base shows the British royal seal with // IRONSTONE CHINA / J.F. // beneath it. This refers to J. Fernyhough, who was a china/ironstone manufacturer in Staffordshire, in partnership with J. Adams and S. Hartshorne, until October 1853. (10/4/1853 Liverpool Mercury, and 10/7/1853 Coventry Standard). This piece may have been purchased as part of the initial outfitting of the ship for its maiden voyage in October 1853 as the S.S. George Law, the original name for the S.S. Central America. 10.75x5.5" with no apparent chips or cracks, just a lovely light brown patina, really remarkable condition considering the descent to the bottom of the sea.Provenance: SS Central America Collection
