Antique Aesthetic Style Furnival's Transferware Daffodil Pattern Pitcher

Beautiful Aesthetic style circa 1880's pitcher by Furnival, with lovely transferware pattern of spring daffodils and daisies across the body and upper retailer interior.

Very good to excellent antique condition. No cracks, chips or crazing. There are a few original marks on the side that look like stray gilding splashes. Light discoloration on the internal base area. Very light wear to gilding along upper rim.
