Cannot figure out any information on this...any help?
How old...who made...where to find info on?
It looks like transfer ware, and the glazing inside is unique...but the blue roses don't really jive with Nikka Whisky?
Sorry, I forgot to give dimensions:
6" tall
3-1/4" base
4" rim (to tip of spout)
holds 24 ounces
no markings

That is a water pitcher to add water to the whiskey.
It can't be older than 1940, when the first Nikka whiskey was sold. He married a Scottish girl, so maby the roses refer to her?

Doing a google image search does not return another one! It's pretty rare. You can contact the company and ask them. They may want it for their historical record!
Thanks everyone! I too tried to do a Google Image search, with no luck. Honestly, this piece is so beautiful in person...I am in love with it, and it's just the simplest little thing! I would like to find out more on it, if possible...so, I do believe I'll try to contact the company.
Thanks again...I'll keep you posted!
