This is a wonderful American collectible, both at once a patriotic display piece and a commemorative of the 1893 Columbian Exposition aka Chicago Worlds Fair. It is made in the form of a pitcher and was designed by John Broad for Doulton Lambeth. It features the American bald eagle and flags in relief on the front and images of George Washington on one side and Christopher Columbus on the other side. A band at the upper jug reads Worlds Columbian Exposition 1893 in raised white lettering on a blue glaze. There are three bands decorated with raised stars and the top ad bottom are finished in a cobalt blue glaze. Antique Royal Doulton Lambeth 1893 COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION Pitcher PATRIOTIC JUG. Please scroll to the bottom of the photos in order to view other important information. It features the American bald eagle and flags in relief on the front and images of George Washington on one side and Christopher Columbus on the other side, applied, I believe, “pate sur pate”. The underside is stamped with the Doulton Lambert mark as well as with England and the number 8386. It is incised with the initials ES, which may stand for Doulton artist Eliza Simmance, one of the most celebrated and desirable artists at the Doulton factory. The piece measures 7 1/2 in height and weighs 2 lbs and 12 oz. It is in very good condition except for a firing fissure on the images of Washington and Columbus, common for pate sur pate, and original and often seen on this piece. Otherwise, this jug has been very well preserved over the last 125 years. Great American patriotic display piece as well as a wonderful collectible for the 1893 Columbian Exposition collector!
