Fiery Pitcher in Clark’s Genoa

This is a lovely short pitcher in Clark’s Genoa pattern. The pattern is shown many times in the ACGA Clark catalog reprints. I can’t seem to find a signature, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s signed as Clark’s signatures were often faint.

The Genoa pattern is made up of one main, large 18-point hobstar surrounded by triangular fields of crosshatching. In between each of these large sections are panels of 3 flat hobstars and 3 flat fans. The base is covered in a really beautiful 24-point hobstar. The handle is double notched.

The pitcher measures 8 1/4″ high by 5 1/2″ wide and is on a great blank that is in line with some of Clark’s best work.
