I tried many variations of AF, AF., AE, etc. but came up empty handed as well. You might be on to something with the souvenir angle though. I hadn't thought of that. We also have two Ruby Red Flash souvenir glasses that belonged to my husband's grandmother and her sister. Both have their names written on them. My research determined that they were sold at fairs. This may be where Electra's water pitcher came from as well! They all three lived in the same area.

I had great fun looking up maker's marks and learning about the company that made the product. However, I spent some time looking for your maker's mark (which by the way looks like AE to me rather than AF) and came up empty handed. Understandable since there are probably thousands of pottery marks from independent potters to big companies. I used images.google.com and clicked on the camera icon for reverse images, if you want to give it a try. I'm guessing the pitcher might be a souvenir, like from a fair or something because of the name painted on it. Just a guess. I'm no expert.Vera Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979932693725250068noreply@blogger.com
