Figure 35 Pitcher fragment, Enoch Wood and Sons, England, ca. 1828. Copper luster, red stoneware body, white slip interior. The Andrew Jackson, Hero of New Orleans motif is usually printed on a canary or blue band, but has also been seen on rust-colored bands. It is also found on a round form, although the slant-sided pitcher is more common. Ellouise Baker Larsen attributes the portrait to J. Wood, engraved by C. G. Childs (Philadelphia, 1828). Copper luster was made from about 1823 to 1845, so such pitchers were intended to celebrate Jackson’s presidential election, long after the Battle of New Orleans. |
