This is the first book to address the collectibility of figural
animal pitchers. For many years, ceramics manufacturers have made
pitchers in the shapes of animals for the family table, some as
part of a cream and sugar set, others created to serve water or
juice. Hundreds of pitchers from around the world are shown here in
over 200 color photos with descriptions that include measurements,
colors, manufacturer, date made, and current market value. Over 30
different animal types are included, from the alligator to the yak,
with interesting facts about each. The pitchers represent popular
American manufacturers, including American Bisque, Blue Ridge,
Brayton Laguna, Fitz & Floyd, Hull, Lenox, McCoy, Rio Hondo
Potteries, Shawnee, Spaulding China's Royal Copley line, Stewart
Ceramics, and Vallona Starr. Others are from Bavaria, China,
Czechoslovakia, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Japan,
Mexico, Occupied Japan, and Taiwan. Whatever your interest, there
probably are animal pitchers to swell your collection. And
collecting them need not be expensive, just pure fun to see how
many you can find in your travels.
