Vintage English Wade Copper Luster Ware 6 1/2" Pitcher HARVEST

Description

Vintage English Wade Lusterware 6 1/2 inch tall pitcher with handle and pour spout. The base is 3 1/4 inches. The top, bottom and handle of the  pitcher is shiny copper colored, and there are flowers painted around the sides of the piece. The inside is beige in color. I think it dates to the 1940's or 1950's. It is pre-owned but in very good condition with no chips or cracks.
