Hand Painted
Hand painted ice tea pitcher. In the early years of the 20th century there was a craze for porcelain painting as a hobby. The blanks were usually imported from France, mostly Limoges so the pieces have underglaze foreign markings. You could take a class at the local “Y” or follow instruction books with patterns.
The painting is done over the glaze and not very durable. If you buy or inherit this type of wear wash in mild soap and allow to air dry. Never put it in a dishwasher, this applies to most antique or vintage ceramics.
