Nags Head North Carolina Souvenir Pitcher Appraisal

Nags Head North Carolina Souvenir Pitcher

This is a ceramic pitcher with a cream-colored glaze. It features a flared rim with a scalloped edge, highlighted with a metallic gold trim. The body of the pitcher is cylindrical with a molded handle. A prominent circular transfer print is centered on the front, displaying the head of a horse in profile, facing left. Above the horse's head, in an arching font, reads "NAGS HEAD," and below, following the curve of the circle, is "NORTH CAROLINA." The transfer print is in black ink and appears to be in relatively good condition, though there may be slight imperfections visible upon closer inspection. The gold trim on the rim shows some wear and loss, consistent with age and handling. The overall condition of the glaze appears to be good, with no immediately obvious cracks or chips, though surface scratches or crazing may be present. The base is not visible in the image, so manufacturer's marks are not discernible. The style suggests a likely age range from the mid-20th century, possibly as a souvenir item from Nags Head, North Carolina. The craftsmanship appears to be typical of mass-produced souvenir ware of that era.
