Condition Report (Selling AS-IS for Display Only)
This pitcher has a wonderful, authentic weathered look perfectly suited for primitive farmhouse decor. It shows clear signs of age and heavy historic use.
Hairline Crack: There is a fine vertical hairline crack visible on the interior wall near the spout. It does not completely split the piece but makes it unsuitable for holding liquids. Recommended for dry display only, such as dried florals, faux greenery, or wooden utensils.
Rim Wear: Multiple chips, glaze flakes, and flea bites along the top rim exposing the underlying tan stoneware body.
Base Condition: The unglazed resting rim is dark with heavy historic shelf wear and grime. The glazed center features dense, darkened crazing consistent with genuine antique age.
