This large leather pitcher measures 11" in height and about 15" across including the handles. The opening has about a 6-3/4" in diameter. The pitcher shows great age with heavily crazed surfaces and shows heavily patinated copper stitching. The pitcher has three part leather braided handles on each side and a recessed leather bottom. The front features a large red lion, indicating possible association with Henry the VIII. CONDITION: Shows great age and heavy use overall, with some losses to lip and pouring spout. There are scattered areas of losses to the crazed black surface and some stitching appears to be reinforced, possibly during period of use. A very early and attractive leather pitcher.
