Description

Late 19th-C. English majolica whimsical brown honey pitcher / jug. The bear is in an active pose, his open mouth forming the spout. The bear is holding a pale brown scoop that forms the top opening of the pitcher, and a honey dipping spoon hooked through the scoop, forming the handle. The bowl of the spoon and the interior of the jug are glazed in a bright turquoise. No maker’s mark / artist signature, however this figure is always attributed to the Holdcroft factory in England.
