| The pitcher offered here was recently acquired from a well know collection assembled by a doctor who possesses not only a highly refined, critical eye, but a passion, willingness and where-with-all to seek out and acquire the very best. The doctor purchased this pitcher in 1992 from a private collector for $7,500.00, a price that was considered very high for the times. He understood that only a handful of condition rarities ever present themselves during a collection building lifetime and when they do money really becomes of little importance. Once gone they tend never to be released. The St. Johns (C. 1050 – 1200) pitcher measures 6.25” tall and 6.0 inches wide and exhibits a brilliant orange slip with a bold black design. As if that is not enough, incredibly, there is a dog standing of four legs, with bold black eyes, peering over the upper edge into the pitcher! The back of the dog image bears a checkerboard design. The exterior still exhibits traces of lime from being buried for centuries. The love and beauty the creator of this pitcher instilled into this amazing artifact is so apparent -- a love that will only be challenged by its new guardian. | ||||||||
