TODAY'S SPOTLIGHT: Staffordshire Pitcher
From the collection at Verso Fine Arts, this Staffordshire water pitcher dates to the year 1815 and is in remarkable condition. This item sold at auction in 1977 at Sotheby's for $100. It features beautiful colors of white, gold, and maroon.
Staffordshire pottery is still in production today by Spode, Royal Doulton, and the Wedgwood Group, and the industry of Staffordshire (today Stoke on Trent) began production in the 17th century.
Visit our Verso website or walk in at 358 Main Street in Catskill to view this special item.
