Date: 1848-56.The mid-nineteenth century porcelain manufactory of Charles Cartlidge and Company in Greenpoint, Brooklyn produced a variety of slip-cast wares for the middle class market.

Among the company's favorite designs are the relief-molded pitchers of either corn and cornstalks or oak leaves and acorns.

WOOLSEY" in the shield, this presentation pitcher was made for Captain Charles Augustus Woolsey (1809-1877), Superintendent of the ferries of the Pennsylvania Railway Company, and perhaps given to him to mark a milestone in his care
