American decorated heavy porcelain ice-water pitcher. The porcelain in probably American, though it might be French. This form, with a bridge near the spout for holding back ice cubes, is also known as a “sweetheart pitcher,” because of the vaguely heart-shaped wreath on either side. On this pitcher, outside the “hearts” is a solid magenta ground, inside the hearts on either side in gilt Gothic letters is written, “Crescent Valley/House.” It is 9 3/8 inches (24 cm) tall. This form was very popular in the third quarter of the 19th century.

Condition: no chips, crack, hairlines or repairs. Gilding wear, some on the lettering and around the spout, top edge and on the handle.
