Wheeling Potteries/Avon Ware Portrait Pitcher

Image
Hello. This pitcher is 10 ½” tall has gold trim around the rim and on handle. Can not find any information on it. Your Portrait Pitcher was made by Wheeling Potteries Company c 1903-1909. The Avon Faience Pottery Co of Tiltonsville, Oh was combined into Wheeling Potteries in 1903 and this piece would have been made at the old Avon Faience plant. The pitcher is similar in style to La Belle Pottery pieces, which Wheeling Potteries also owned. I would estimate the pitcher to bring $75-100 at auction. It might retail for around $125.
