Offered is a striking pitcher with handle by Fischer J done in Budapest Hungary in the late
19thcentury. Fischer J. Budapest was founded by Ignace Fischer in Pest, Hungary, in
1864. (Pest is the eastern half of modern Budapest which was united with the western
half, Buda, in 1873). His pieces bear the mark “Fischer J.” with the “J” being the same
letter as “I” in Hungarian. The Fischer factory was bought by Zsolnay Pottery in 1895. The
pitcher here is marked on the underside with a blue stamp, "Patent", "Fischer J",
"Budapest". It stands 7 inches high and is approximately 7 inches from the outside of the
handle to the opposite side of the pitcher itself. There is are no nicks, chips, hairlines, etc.
It is in excellent condition. The pitcher is handsomely decorated with a floral motif in nine
bright colors beautifully enhanced with gold outlining. The rich deep olive color as
background works perfectly helping to make this a dazing example of Fisher at its best.
