Oval print, with a label at the base, the word Apotheosis. A tomb with seated figures of Liberty and an Indian in the foreground. Time is lifting Washington, clothed in a shroud, from the tomb, while an angel holds the patriot’s hand and points up to rays of glory. On the tomb the words, “Sacred to the memory of Washington ob 17 Dec. A.D. 1799. Ae 68.” Outside the oval are winged cherub heads. Often under the nose of the pitcher is seen the motto, “A Man without Example, A Patriot without Reproach.” Pitchers bearing this specially hideous print seem to be eagerly sought after by all china collectors. It is a reduced copy of a large engraving three feet long and two wide, which was issued by Simon Chandron and John J. Barradet, in Philadelphia, in January, 1802. This engraving is still frequently seen in old Philadelphia homes, and was common enough in the middle of the century. In the large engraving many funny details can be seen which are lost or blurred in the pitcher print. For instance, the various decorations owned by Washington, including the Order of the Cincinnati, are proudly displayed, hanging over the stone of the open tomb. Sometimes the print is seen without the word Apotheosis. One of these pitchers is here shown. [Illustration: Apotheosis Pitcher.] 10. Washington. Monument. Liverpool. This design is printed in a scalloped oval. In a landscape with water, ships, and a church, is a monument with a medallion portrait of Washington and the words: “First in War, First in Peace, First in Fame, First in Victory.” Fame stands on the right, and a naval officer on the left. In front is an American flag, cannon, swords, etc. Around the edge of the oval are the names of thirteen States. I have several times had a pitcher with this design offered to me for purchase for $8, $10, or $15, according to the size and condition; but I saw one in a jeweller’s shop in New York during the Centennial celebration in 1889, marked $150, and it was asserted that it was sold at that price. The revival of interest at that time in anything and everything that related to Washington, of course afforded the explanation of this enormous and absurd price. 11. Washington. Medallion Portrait. Staffordshire. A poor full-face portrait, not resembling Washington, with same legend as No. 5. It is marked F. Morris, Shelton. 12. Washington. Profile Portrait. Liverpool. This is printed in black on small pitchers. Over the portrait the legend, “He is in Glory, America in Tears.” 13. Washington. On Horseback. Liverpool. This design appears upon a gallon bowl in the collection of the Connecticut Historical Society, and also upon one in a collection in Newport. Pitchers also have been seen with it. Washington appears mounted, on a battle-field, with the accompanying inscription: “His Excellency General George Washington, Marshal of France, and Commander in Chief of the North American Continental Forces.”
