Pottery Stoneware
Question on the number 36 written in script on the bottom of a pitcher. What does it stand for?
I have a brown handled pitcher, I believe it is stoneware or perhaps pottery. The number on the bottom is written in old english script. It is not for the amount that it holds. There are not other makers mark on it. Any ideas as to what that 36 might stand for? Thank you.
I do not know the age of this pitcher.
There are a couple options ... but marks differ from potter to potter. Unfortunately, with so many variances in makers marks, only the true meaning is known to the potter himself. That said, however, the are it has some connection with the studio in which it was manufactured, or *most* likely it was part of a series and yours was the 36th pitcher thrown in that particular batch. You can't count on it being that manufacturer b/c while that is what was historically put on the bottom of works, not every artist does that.
