STONEWARE PITCHER IDENTIFICATION

Image
I recently purchased this blue and white stoneware pitcher, can you tell me who made it and what it may be worth? It is 6" tall. The pattern of your pitcher is known as "Avenue of Trees" It is considered a rare pattern. I believe your color would be considered solid blue even though it has some white. Value would be anywhere up to $100 for the 6"version.

PITTSBURGH LAMP BRASS & GLASS REVERSE PAINTED LAMP

Can you please identify this lamp for me? I believe it is a Pittsburgh Lamp. Indeed....You are correct. This was made by Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass Co in the early 1920's. Pittsburgh called this shade their Electrolier Decoration A. Catalog number S-1340 1/2. The shade was square form and was frosted or "chipped ice". Similar shades on the same base have sold for between $150-$325 at live auction.
