This large 8 1/2" tall Pottery Pitcher has transfer prints of "Vulcan & Chares receiving Thetis" and is based on a pen & ink from Homer's Iliad created by John Flaxman. JOHN FLAXMAN was a Sculptor & Illustrator and was the leading artist of the neoclassical style, at the time, in England. He was born in 1755 and died in 1826. He studied in Italy and Greece and designed much of Wedgwood's Neoclassical Pottery. He was also commissioned to design and create many famous Sculptures.
This Pitcher simply has a banner with FLAXMAN underneath and was probably made by a contemporary company of Wedgwood in the early 1800's. If anyone can identify the manufacturer, I would appreciate the information. Thanks everyone! RER (LOUMANAL)

Yes vetraio50, Quite possibly by Holdcroft, Hill and Mellor. My mark does not contain the H H & M but the banner is identical. I appreciate you leading me to this manufacturer.....I had no idea about this company. I googled it and found the mark. Thanks! and thanks BELLIN68 for the Love! RER (BOB)
Are those the initials "IS" on the base rim or the number 15?
It's either 18 or 48....I'm not sure, but it is numbers. RER (BOB) Thank you AmberRose and you maryh1956. BOB
