Large English Antique Vintage Majolica Pitcher With Birds & Nest, Green & Cream

Large English Antique Majolica Pitcher With Birds & Nest, Green & Cream, Gorgeous! No cracks, some very light crazing. Two very small imperfections, see close up photos. An Majolica birds nest pitcher, no makers mark, most likely made in England, circa 19th century.

Stands 9 1/4 tall, base is 5 1/4" across, top opening is 5 1/4" across. It features gorgeous dimensional details on a cream colored background, including a mother bird watching her 3 blue eggs in a nest.

The design repeats itself on both sides. The nest rests on a branch and there are green ferns, ivy, and a large green and pink leaf.

Whimsical handle looks like a tree branch, and the ground is modeled as a tree trunk.
