Foley Intarsio Ware Monk Pitcher

This pitcher, marked with pattern number 3154, showcases a colorful and detailed transfer-printed and hand-painted design attributed to Frederick Rhead's era of production. The body of the pitcher is decorated with alternating panels of robed monks in brown habits set against a Gothic architectural background, surrounded by dense hop vine motifs in raised relief around the base. The top green border features a continuous inscribed verse in raised lettering that reads: "A Chirping Cup Is My Matin Song, And The Vesper's Bell Is My Bowl, Ding Dong." This whimsical line wraps around the rim, enhancing the visual storytelling characteristic of Foley Intarsio pieces. The underside bears the black printed backstamp: THE FOLEY INTARSIO ENGLAND, accompanied by a crown and lion motif, and the number 3154. The handle is angular and painted in a deep brown glaze, complementing the multi-colored, glossy body.
