I'm enclosing a section of an old white heavyweight pitcher probably ironstone measuring 7" tall and about 7 1/4" across top from spout to handle. There are no markings. I don't know much about the background except that my husband's mother owned this piece, and her mother was once either an Indian from Labrador, or kidnapped by the Labrador Indians many, many years ago. This might be the only connection available, as his mother is no longer alive. I'd appreciate any information on this piece. There is some gold wear and a few blips in the stoneware. They are not chips - just tiny dots of discoloration. I may be able to remove.
Painting of Young Baby Jesus
Description:
I acquired this apparent vintage hand-painted picture of what I am assuming is a young Jesus. I found him at a Religious Charity Thrift Store, so I have no history. The size of the canvas is 10 in. x 14 in. There is obvious quality in the painting, but there isn’t a visible signature. I have not taken it out of the frame. There are no marks or writing on the back.
