This distinctive English souvenir pitcher incorporates a built-in musical movement and features a sculptural figural handle depicting a gentleman leaning against the rim. The cream-colored ceramic body is decorated with a detailed scenic view of Eton College, accompanied by descriptive text noting the institution’s founding by Henry VI in 1440. The piece combines hand-painted architectural imagery with a whimsical figural element and an integrated wind-up music mechanism housed in the base. The softly crackled glaze and traditional decoration reflect early to mid-20th-century English souvenir pottery produced for commemorative display. Both decorative and functional as a musical novelty, this pitcher presents as an engaging collectible.
