Pitcher, 6.5 inches tall. Blue transfer. Maker is the Old Hall Earthenware Co. Ltd. The registry diamond indicates a pattern registration date of 8 January 1880. The pitcher features two cartouches in the center. The partially-round cartouche features a sailing vessel, while the rectangular cartouche, slightly behind the round one, features a landscape in delicate colors. Both cartouches have a border around them. This pattern has several borders, varying in width, the most predominate one being a jigsaw arrangement of odd shapes filled with jagged lines.
The Old Hall Earthenware Co. Ltd. was an English pottery established in the Staffordshire town of Hanley in 1805 by Job Meigh (d 1817). It was successively known as Job Meigh (1805–12), Job Meigh & Son (1812–34), Charles Meigh (1834–49), C. Meigh, Son & Pankhurst (1850–51), Charles Meigh & Son (1851–61), Old Hall Earthenware Co. Ltd (1861–86) and Old Hall Porcelain Works Ltd (1886–1902). In March 1861 Charles Meigh Jr. transferred the business to a limited liability company called the Old Hall Earthenware Co Ltd. This was the first limited liability company in the Staffordshire Potteries. In the 1880s the designers included Christopher Dresser. The pottery closed in 1902 and the Old Hall Works was demolished in 1904.
