This pitcher is the most interesting piece of American pottery bearing an historical design that I have ever seen. The dealer who offered it to me asserted that only six were ever manufactured. He also said that he could easily procure dozens of Washington pitchers that were _two hundred years old_, but that I would find it hard to get a _colonial_ pitcher with a picture of Harrison on it. To this latter assertion I warmly agreed. It was six-sided, bulging in the middle to a diameter of about nine inches, about eleven inches in height, and with a foliated handle and scalloped lip. It was of coarse-grained brownish pottery, darker in shade than Liverpool ware. On four of its sides the pitcher bore a view of a small log-cabin above a good portrait of Harrison, with the words, “The Ohio Farmer W. H. Harrison.” Below all, a spread eagle. On the bottom of the pitcher was printed in black, “Am. Pottery Manf^y Co., Jersey City.” It is the only piece of American ware with printed decorations similar to Liverpool ware that I have ever seen. 133. Columbian Star. Jno. Ridgway. This plate, which is printed in light blue, is popularly known as the “Log-cabin” plate. In the centre is a domestic scene of a log-cabin with open door, and a woman and child are seated outside watching a man who is ploughing a field in the foreground. A “lean-to” joins the house, beneath which stands the cider barrel of “hard cider.” A man in the background is chopping stumps. A small river bears a canoe with a single figure. Across the stream is a flagstaff with an American flag. Pine-trees are grouped near the cabin, and abundant smoke rises from the chimney. The border is composed of large stars set in a firmament of small ones. The inscription is, “Columbian Star. Oct. 20, 1840. Jno. Ridgway.” It will be remembered that William Henry Harrison was elected President in the fall of 1840. This plate is owned by Mrs. Nealy, of Washington, D. C. XVII. STAFFORDSHIRE WARES
