“General Jackson Hero of New Orleans” War of 1812, Impressive 7” Tall Colorful Staffordshire Transfer-Printed Copper Lustre Pitcher by Enoch Wood and Sons, England, Choice Near Mint.
This popular Pitcher has a historic Transfer image with the legend: “General Jackson Hero of New Orleans.” It was produced in American commemoration of his great victory over the British (even if it did technically occur after the War of 1812 had officially ended.) This quality Pitcher was produced by the firm of Enoch Wood and Sons, England with each side displaying a Portrait of General Andrew Jackson, in black and set against deep blue background. The decorative bright copper beaded rim with added still life images of fruit and foliage are added beneath molded spout. The Portrait transfer is number J.4 and illustrated on page 112 in David and Linda Arman's reference: “Anglo-American Ceramics, Part I: Transfer Printer Creamware and Pearlware for the American Market, 1760-1860”, Oakland Press: Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 1998. This reference is highly recommended for all collectors of this field plus Liverpool Historical Creamware. Overall, there is just a hint of slight wear rubbing to handle from minor actual use, still being bright and is excellent for display.
