Then he became a state representative and later in life the president of a insurance company. He lived quite an interesting life. A musket ball went through one side of his body and out the other,he shook Napoleons hand, was captured by the French and was rewarded by Lloyd’s for navigating a wreck “The Otis” through a gale in 1807.


The condition of this piece is quite nice with a professional repair to the spout and a crack off the rim. Appears perfect now. Quite a impressive size measures 10 1/2” tall and dates circa 1790’s to the early 1800’s. Pretty incredible and rare to have a Liverpool pitcher with history like this. Plus having very rare transfers and quite a nice polychrome ship. Please view my pictures for further condition and feel free to ask me any questions. Satisfaction guaranteed.
