A rare find for a Thistle Tea Leaf pattern collector, or a meaningful gift for anyone who loves American ironstone history.
Glasgow Pottery was established in Trenton, NJ by John Moses in 1863 and operated until 1906, when Thomas Maddock's Sons Co. purchased it. During its operation it was regarded as the equal of England's finest potteries. This antique pitcher in white earthenware/ironstone carries a thistle decal with brushed gold on the rim — likely a variant of the Tea Leaf pattern, though the specific body style remains unidentified.
