I guess I'm getting cabin fever due to the persistent cold weather.  This 
morning, I slapped my Leica Elmarit-R 60/2.8 Macro lens on my E-1 and looked 
around the house for something to photograph.  Among those unfortunate 
subjects was this Toby-like pitcher which my wife purchased in the mid-1940s 
at a small church fund-raiser in Southeast Missouri.  She liked it and 
learned that it had been donated by two elderly sisters, so it probably 
dates back to the turn of the century.

If anyone has any idea as to the origin of such objects, I would like to 
hear from them.  It bears no markings, so probably was not very expensive.

TIA for any clues.
