c. 1805 Federal Period, Historical Memorial Liverpool Creamware Pitcher titled, “America Lamenting The Death Of Her Favorite Son” (GEORGE WASHINGTON) with “Liberty Independence” (Glebe Poem), showing a Native American Indian Princess representing “America”, Choice Extremely Fine.
This rare Historical Liverpool Creamware Pitcher measures 6” tall x 3.5” at its base and is listed in the Arman reference as “Extremely Rare.” This design is listed in the Arman reference as L.23, shown illustrated on page 130. There are two choice historical black transfers displayed. One side has a transfer showing an American Early perched above an oval scene of an bare breasted, beautiful young Native American Indian Princess shown representing “America” tearfully mourning over a large oval picture of George Washington. In this picture, Washington’s portrait faces right, wearing his Generals military uniform. Below that entire scene is the legend reading: “AMERICA LAMENTING THE DEATH OF HER FAVORITE SON.” This exact design is listed as being “Extremely Rare” as item W.48 shown illustrated on page 208 in the major reference book “Anglo-American Ceramics - Part I” by David Arman. The opposite side has yet another scarce transfer displaying a “LIBERTY Cap on a Pole” with large rays emanating from it. To the left is a Flag with an American Heraldic Eagle at center, surrounded by Fifteen Stars (1805 representing the 15 United States). To the right is a banner flying with various militaria and other decorative devices surrounding the (Glebe Poem) central text poem that reads, in full:

“As he tills your rich glebe the old peasant shall tell, While his bosom with Liberty glows - How your (General) Warren expired __ how Montgomery fell. - And how WASHINGTON humbled your foes.” Below is the large text: “INDEPENDENCE.”

It has nice eye appeal with just some slight tone ay the top rim edge and faint friction to the base rim from previous display. A historic and patriotic commemorative pitcher.

Condition: Excellent.
