Large Odd Fellows Pitcher England, Circa 1850
Located in Katonah, NY
This massive and rare pitcher is fully decorated with the imagery and symbols of the Odd Fellows (see images). Odd Fellows promote philanthropy, the ethic of reciprocity, and charity. At the front of the pitcher, we see a panel with the words, "We are odd Fellows When we act and Do the thing which is Right." Around this panel are the words "How grand in Age How fair in Youth is Holly Friendship, Love and Truth." Above the panel is an open palm with a heart symbolic of charity given from the heart. On both sides of the pitcher is the Odd FFellows'smotto, "Amicitia Amor et Veritas,"; which translates to Friendship, Love, and Truth.  The motto is seen together with an image of Lady Justice and an angel holding a budding branch. Lady Justice personifies morality in judicial systems. The budding branch symbolizes the idea that truth can "draw freshness and verdure" from the "most barren facts and common things in life" and give them life and interest. Above all of this is a shining sun. As the sun shines on us all, it symbolizes impartiality in the benevolence of the Odd Fellows.  Dimensions: 9.75" tall x 8.25" diameter Condition: Very Good, with an invisible restoration only to the underside of the vase and some scratching, particularly to the lustered leaves, flowers, and the lustered top edge. Price: $1640 Odd Fellows is an international fraternity consisting of lodges first documented in 1730 in London. The first known lodge was Loyal Aristarcus Lodge No. 9, suggesting earlier ones in the 18th century. Notwithstanding, convivial meetings were held "in much revelry and, often as not, the calling of the Watch to restore order. Names of several British pubs...

Vintage, New and Antique Pitchers

Perfect for entertaining, a dinner party or a small luncheon, vintage, new and antique pitchers are versatile pieces to keep in any collection.

Whether you’re dining in the great outdoors, freshening up drinks in the living room or making a batch of fresh-squeezed juice for breakfast in the kitchen, a pitcher is a must-have feature of your dining and entertaining set.

Prior to indoor plumbing and the advent of sinks, people paired a pitcher with a wash basin on their bedside stand. Today, an antique washstand might be used as a nightstand or bedside table. These pitchers, along with the washstand, were essential in any bedroom.

Today, in displaying vintage ceramic pitchers on your Welsh kitchen dresser or in a corner cupboard, you’re inviting a pop of color and an alluring texture to mingle with your other serveware. But when entertaining, you’re likely going to put this decorative vessel to work. Some glazed stoneware and metal pitchers are outfitted with hinged lids to provide insulation, while potters and other craft artists at the time might have made complementary glasses or teacups to pair with their pitchers for a complete serving set. Glass and stoneware pitchers are perfect for serving beverages, but if you’re serving from a metal pitcher, you’ll want to ensure that the material is food-grade stainless steel.

For a simple home accent, consider using that wonderfully aging vintage metal pitcher as a vase for your flowers (be sure to use a watertight plastic liner or insert) or as a receptacle to display and organize your cooking utensils. Given the venturesome design sensibility that we associate with mid-century modernism, a mid-century modern pitcher is going to prove a unique and sophisticated decorative touch to any room in your home. While your farmhouse-style interior is practically begging for the earthy tones of a terracotta pitcher, an ironstone pitcher will bring ornate details to your mantel.

Find a collection of new, vintage and antique pitchers today on 1stDibs.
