Staffordshire
A dolphin and sailor pitcher. The green-glazed fish head, likely a dolphin, serves as the spout and handle, while the human face with a beard and expressive features represents a sailor. This type of piece, potentially from Ralph Wood’s Staffordshire workshop, often blended maritime themes with whimsical designs. The molded base and detailed glazing suggest it’s from the 18th or early 19th century.
