介绍（中）	19世纪中期，位于布鲁克林绿点的Charles Cartlidge and Company的瓷器制造厂为中产阶级市场生产了各种滑铸瓷器。该公司提供了一系列形式，包括餐具和水罐，以及日常用品（墨水架、纸秤、痰盂等）和高度专业化的物品。该公司最喜欢的设计包括玉米和玉米茎或橡树叶和橡子的浮雕水罐。最重要的卡特利奇投手是那些戴着盾牌并刻有名字的投手，通常是为商人或酒馆老板制作的。盾牌上刻着"C.A.WOOLSEY上尉"，这只演示投手是为宾夕法尼亚铁路公司渡轮总监Charles Augustus WOOLSEY（1809–1877）上尉制作的，送给他可能是为了纪念他职业生涯中的一个里程碑或庆祝其他成就。这个例子似乎是独一无二的，它以锚的形式应用了把手，完全是浮雕的，雕塑感很强。这位投手可能是伍尔西的特别委托人，也是对他在航运业业务的象征性认可。
介绍（英）	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. The firm offered a wide array of forms which included tablewares and pitchers, along with mundane, everyday objects (inkstands, paper weights, spittoons, etc.) to highly specialized items. Among the company’s favorite designs are the relief-molded pitchers of either corn and cornstalks or oak leaves and acorns. The most significant Cartlidge pitchers are those with shields and inscribed with names, often made for tradesmen or saloon keepers. Inscribed "CAPT. C. A. 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 career or to celebrate some other achievement. This example appears to be unique with its applied handle in the form of an anchor, fully in relief and highly sculptural. This pitcher may have been a special commission for Woolsey and the anchor a symbolic nod to his business in the shipping industry.
