A wonderful vintage Copeland Spode England hunting pitcher featuring two of the maker’s classic equestrian scenes, “Leaping the Brook 5” and “The Meet 6.” Adapted from traditional British sporting imagery, the richly detailed decoration depicts riders in scarlet hunt coats on horseback against an English countryside landscape. A deep claret rim and wonderfully colored handle add another layer of character to the creamy ceramic body. A particularly charming example of Copeland Spode’s celebrated sporting wares and an ideal piece for an equestrian or English country interior.
