Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Rare Blue and White Cut Sponge Pitcher.
 
Dating to the late 19th century, this beauty features a Cut Floral Stamped in Three Patterned Horizontal Rows Around the Middle.  The effect is breathtaking.  Stands 8 3/4" tall.
 
I have seen four of these in all my years.  I own two and sold one a couple years ago.  This one walked into the Zoar Show this past weekend. 
 
Good Condition.  A chip on the spout (closeup), four flakes on the inside of the rim (1/8" to 1/4"), and a faint 3" hairline from the rim (closeup).  No base chips, cracks, stains, or restoration.  A small 2" crease in the clay by the handle in the making.
