Pitcher, "Citizen Soldier"

Liverpool · 1804

Before the Revolutionary War the American colonies imported a large proportion of their fine ceramic wares from Britain. The trade between the colonies and England more or less collapsed between 1776 and 1783, but resumed with renewed vigor until relations between the two countries again deteriorated badly in 1808. This large baluster-shaped pitcher was made in England in or after 1804, and probably before the British imposed a trade embargo on the United States in 1808.
