  • RARE Antique made in the 1860s.  I have seen an image of this Bedford Works pattern in a Tankard but have never found one in a Lidded Pitcher pattern #4/5731.
  • Height: 9-1/2" to tip of lid.
  • Very nice antique condition with no cracks, chips or crazing.  The inside and outside are clean, shiny and beautiful and the lid hinge is in excellent shape. There is some wearing of the gold gild on the top of the handle (see pictures). 
  • I'm not sure of the metal used on the top, spout and lid.  it looks like ornate detailed brass to me but others have said it could be Britannia Metal. I am unsure.
  • High relief and multi-colored enamel 
  • Rope handled pitcher with gilt edge. Printed design of Chinese figures amongst palm trees, with a bow, quiver & arrows in foreground.
  • The 4/5731 is the pattern number.  The S may (?) stand for Joseph Sparks, a later partner with the Ridgeways who started Bedford Works. 
  • Made in Staffordshire, England
  • Condition: Used
  • Condition: Very nice antique condition with no cracks, chips or crazing. The inside and outside are clean, shiny and beautiful and the lid hinge is in excellent shape. There is some wearing of the gold gild on the top of the handle (see pictures).
