Beautiful Antique Empress Ironstone Staffordshire England Blue Flow Pitcher. This Beautiful Antique Empress Ironstone Staffordshire England Blue Flow Pitcher Appears to have almost no flaws other than a little bit of scratch marks, on the very bottom, just from sitting on the table over the years, which is normal, but the paint itself/glaze has very little to almost know blemishes other than maybe a few extremely small, extremely hard to see dots of a scratch that are probably the size of a pencil tip but overall I would give this item a 9.8 out of 10. This beautiful piece is nice and solid and heavier than it looks and is just under 11″ tall, around 10″ wide counting the handle, and facing forward would be about 7 wide. I’m not 100% sure but I believe this was actually used in the late 1800s to put water in and then pour it over your hands to wash. Feel free to ask me any questions!!
