Copper Lustre Antique Solid Blue Band Pitcher

Antique copper lustre pitcher. Likely made in Staffordshire, England, this piece showcases a brilliant cobalt blue band encircling the body, contrasted by a rich copper lustre glaze that gleams with a warm, metallic finish. Its classical baluster shape, ornate handle, and detailed beaded border highlight the refined craftsmanship typical of mid-19th century British ceramics.

Standing approximately 6.25 inches tall, this pitcher would have originally served both decorative and utilitarian purposes. The lack of a maker’s mark is consistent with many Staffordshire pieces from the early to mid-1800s. The interior and base exhibit natural wear and oxidation, adding to its authentic antique appeal.
