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，比如这个例子。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。这个水罐上的装饰和铭文特别有趣。投手的正面是一只展开的鹰，它越过一个放在锚上的盾牌。鹰嘴上的横幅上刻着"A.P.Garrett赠送"，盾牌上刻着："Geo.H.Barnes"。虽然这两人之间的确切关系尚不清楚，但研究表明，乔治·H·Barnes和亚伯拉罕·P·Garrett都是十九世纪中叶布鲁克林的屠夫。与铭文一起，满版镀金和彩绘装饰进一步表明了这件物品的重要性。
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, like this example. The most significant Cartlidge pitchers are those with shields and inscribed with names, often made for tradesmen or saloon keepers. The embellishments and inscriptions on this pitcher are particularly interesting. The front of the pitcher is formed by a spread eagle surmounting a shield resting on an anchor. The banner in the eagle’s beak is inscribed "Presented by A. P. Garrett," and the shield is inscribed "Geo. H. Barnes." While the exact relationship between the two men is unknown, research has revealed that George H. Barnes and Abraham P. Garrett were both butchers in Brooklyn in the middle of the nineteenth century. Along with the inscriptions, the allover gilding and painted decoration further signify the importance of this object.
