Lot consists of three 9 - 1/4" tall helmet-shaped porcelain pitchers manufactured by Tucker in Philadelphia in 1825: the first with floral decoration on both sides and gilt bands, the second with floral decoration on both sides and the third with grisaille landscape decoration with minor rim flake. Following Bonham and Morris of Philadelphia which closed in the 1770's, Tucker was the first porcelain factory in America starting in 1826. William Ellis Tucker was the first person to successfully produce hard paste porcelain for the home made entirely in the United States of purely domestic material. The helmet-shaped pitchers was the earliest form they made in the factory.
Item Dimensions: Each: 9 - 1/2" x 8" x 7".
