Uncommon vintage ironstone pitcher in cobalt cobalt and albescent. Raised motif of seated Victorian female surrounded by her dogs within the folds of her gown.

Pitcher is in perfect condition next to none chips, cracks whether crazing. A few pit marks in glaze from firing. Some residue in the bottom inside of pitcher recommends it was used as a vase. Measures 8 3/4″ tall.
Use it for home decor As a vase whether as is. Not recommended for potable liquids.
A severe piece! Convo me next to questions. Shipping is estimated. Will adjust as necessary all for security and actual.

Victory for Traditional Rosé Production Methods
Summer 2009. There were celebrations in Provence and throughout Europe among quality winemakers in response to the news that the EU has dropped plans to permit production of Rosé by simply mixing white and red wine together. This ensures the future of the much more labour intensive traditional method where the grape juice is left in contact with the skins for a period. This gives the natural colour to the wine, but does not involve use of possibly incompatible blends. The traditional method results in top quality Rosés made from the juice of red grapes.
Simply mixing white and red wines is not unusual in some parts of the world and is usually done to reduce production costs. Whilst there are quite a few examples of good wines made this way it is very easy for many to be uninteresting in that they do not have much differentiation (except for their colour) from the white wine which forms their base. It is a technique too often used by winemakers to make what I call an “as well” wine. For example a producer who makes white and red wines, thinks it would be good to have a Rosé “as well”. You can be certain that should we offer any new world wines made this way it will be because the blend has been very expertly achieved to make a quality wine that stands out from the crowd.

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My suffer, as though of hemlock I had besotted, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: ‘Tis not finished envy of thy happy mint, Only being too contented in thine happiness, — That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated assuage. O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been Cool’d a drawn out property in the deep-delved earth, Sample of Flora and the country new, Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt hilarity! O for a jar brimfull of the warm Southeast, Full of truth , the blushful Hippocrene, Near covered bubbles blinking at the brim, And purple-stained mouth; That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, And with thee dissolve into the forest dim: Fade further distant, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and perceive each other groan; Wherever palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; Where but to think is to be complete of sorrow And leaden-eyed despairs, Where Aesthetic cannot keep her lustrous sentiment, Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow.

Back from France – Lots of News
The Cannes Film Festival events were very successful. Rose-wine.com was involved with film distribution specialist Distrify, www.distrify.com who participated in the Creative Scotland, www.creativescotland.com Beach Party on Long Beach. Hundreds of film industry professionals attended this great fun, and superb networking, event. Peter and Andy from Distrify provided a tremendous performance preparing and serving freshly made peach ”Bellini’s on the Beach”. The wine used was Domaine de La Rouillere’s amazing Methode Traditionnelle Sparkling Brut Rosé and this was very well received. I received so many favourable comments about the wine and the fact that we can supply this and other wonderful Rosés in the UK, that I lost count. ”A lovely wine, way beyond any expectations” was a typical comment. Watch this space for more news from Cannes and for a selection of the many photo’s taken! Will you be in them?
I was lucky to be able to fit in a few vineyard visits during this trip and would like to share the news about these. In particular, I had a very informative and interesting visit at Chateau Léoube. Romain Ott, the winemaker, gave Eveline and I, an excellent tour of this impeccable and well situated vineyard. I learned a great deal and was very impressed by the visionary and inspired policies that have resulted in such remarkable wines. I’ll post some more details and photo’s about this visit soon. Good news too, we now have the two Chateau Léoube Rosés in stock for immediate shipment. I thoroughly recommend that you try these wines!
