Here is a "set" of Columbian Art Pottery jug and mugs created sometime between 1893 and 1902 - the years that Columbian Art Pottery / Morris & Willmore Co. operated.
They are in pretty good condition given their age. Some chips here and there along with some loss of decoration. The jug has a crack through the handle, but it hasn't broken completely.
The mugs in the front are different sizes than the other four and even from each other. I'm guessing they were made at a different time - they also have a different stamp than the others. The jug and four smaller mugs have the Morris & Willmore Belleek stamp whereas the other two mugs have the Columbian Art Pottery stamp that was printed on other wares.
William Morris and Francis Willmore both worked at Ott & Brewer and Royal Worcester before starting their own pottery.
Love these. The pitcher is just so funny. Good shape to be so old. :)
Those characters are exceptional.
