This early English White Ironstone Ewer was created by Henry Alcock in 1890. He named this shape Jumbo for PT Barnum's huge famous circus elephant.
This pitcher has a lovely graceful shape and a wonderful embossed daisy pattern on both sides of the top and bottom of the handle. The handle is what makes this ewer quite special with its elephant thumb rest - Jumbo.
The Jumbo shape is a favorite with collectors of early English White Ironstone!
