pitcher-don't know title

Hi... Octar H. Copson was the 1st person to paint fruit on Royal Worcester. Was born in 1851 and worked for RW from 1872-80. I don't believe that this is the same person who painted your pitcher but this is the only Copson that I know of. Besides this not being fruit (which he's famous for), the Bavarian mark is confusing. Google his name and maybe eventually you'll find something for yourself. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck.

I have been studying Octar H. Copson for over a year now. The reason being is that he immigrated from England to the US in the 1890s. He ended up in Grand Rapids, MI where he was a furniture decorator in the early 1900s and later went to Florida where he continued to paint pottery and then Corvallis, Oregon, always producing art til the end of his life in 1936. I believe the piece you have is done by this man. I have a picture of him and a few other samples of his work but moreover I have done his family history through his children. If the piece you have is not a Royal Worcester piece, it would date 1881-1893. When our local museum opens here in Wyoming, MI, he will be a featured person of interest. He lived here (a suburb of Grand Rapids) from about 1903 until about 1915. His son died in WWI serving the Royal Regiment of Canada. Would be happy to share more if you have specific questions.
