Estimated Date Made, 1800 - 1850, Despite A. A. Fisher's life span, I would date this set far earlier. I am unable to locate the pottery name printed on all of the pieces, but the shape of the pitcher and sugar is distinctively that of the late 1700s - early 1800s. Transfer-printing was invented by the English in 1750 so the tenchnique used to apply the pattern was available. The set may have been something owned by his parents or grandparents and handed down through the family. MBH 1/15/09
