Cambridge Art Pottery Matte Green Pitcher circa 1906

Here is a unique piece.  I purchased it on eBay.  When it arrived I realized that the Weller sticker is fake.  This mark was die impressed and not a sticker.  After a few days of research I identified the piece of Matte Green by Cambridge Art Pottery -- it was only made for approximately 6 years (approximately 1902 to 1908).  The slash shaped kiln marks are unique to Cambridge.  I am tempted to soak off the fake sticker but I think I will leave it there as part of history.
