Description
Not sure if this is a vase or a pitcher, because it has a handle on it. But no lip like most pitchers have. There are blue and pink carnations painted on it, and then wheat it looks like. The marking on the bottom is an arrow, with a scroll hanging from it and the word ionic inside the scroll.
Re: antique vase/pitcher
This is a pitcher most likely part of a set with a bowl which would have been used on a wash stand.. This mold was used by the line called " Ionic " Knowles, Taylor & Knowles Ohio I have a similar one with the same mark and moss rose buds.
These pitchesr depending on condition and site you are selling on sell for $59 to $100
A little more about the maker:
KTK are the initials of the Knowles, Taylor & Knowles Company of East Liverpool, Ohio, founded by Isaac W. Knowles in 1853. The company made many types of utilitarian wares, hotel china, and dinner-wares. The company merged with American Ceramic Corporation in 1928. It closed in 1934.
Mine with the roses I have described as:
This lovely ironstone pitcher, circa late 1860's to 1870’s, is the moss rose pattern which was extremely popular during the Victorian era and produced by many companies of that period. The transfer design is sharp and the shades of pink, green and medium brown are vivid with gold rim and decoration on the handle. The pitcher measures 5 1/2" in diameter and 11" high. Stamped with the IONIC mark arrow with scroll and ionic inside scroll circa 1860's to 1870’s
