    This pitcher was supposedly brought from Ireland to the U.S. in the mid 19th century by my great great grandmother. Does any know the name of this type of ceramic and if it could be that old ?
    Thanks for any help you can give !

      Reminds me of Hull or Welles. Any markings? Can you add a pic of the base?

      Oops “Hull or Weller”

      Did an image search, there are more examples out there with various attributions, most of which disagree. Many ID’d as majolica - which yours would not be because it has a matte glaze.

      Here’s another matte glaze example

      Tried answering on your page but couldn't figure out how to do it. Thanks for your input. There are no markings on the base, it's just an ordinary pitcher I guess :))
