A rare and striking example of 19th-century English pottery, this Ridgway & Abington ceramic pitcher features finely molded floral reliefs and a coiled snake forming the handle — a motif symbolic of renewal and protection in Victorian design. The crisp detailing and graceful form exemplify the artistry of Ridgway’s mid-century ceramic production. A distinctive and collectible piece, equally admired for its sculptural presence and historical significance.
