1804 Masonic Creamware Pitcher With Arms of the U.S.

c. 1804, Large Liverpool Creamware Masonic Pitcher, Decorated with an American Sailing Ship and Arms of the United States with the date 1804, Very Rare, Near Mint.
This large size, English made, creamware pitcher, is decorated on one side with a multicolored transfer print of Masonic symbols, including the "All Seeing Eye," the compass and square, a beehive, "G" within a star, 2 pillars, and more. The inscription below reads, "United for the benefit of Mankind." The other side depicts a sailing ship flying a huge American flag. On the front of this pitcher is the American coat-of-arms with 13 stars above and 2 more beside the eagle's neck. The inscription reads, "Peace, Commerce and honest Friendship with all Nations - Entangling Alliances with none - Jefferson - Anno Domini 1804." Trimmed in reddish-brown around the rim, this pitcher measures 10.25" tall and about 7" in diameter. Aside from some light soiling on the handle, this pitcher is almost like new, with no chips or cracks. Some minor manufacturing flaws appear here and there, but do not affect the designs. A very rare and important Masonic Pitcher.
