It was probably made in Western Pennsylvania circa 1860 to 1890 for the Nashville, Tennessee, merchants, Spire and Duff, although it may have been made elsewhere. This piece has some nice aesthetic touches, with the words "SPIRE & DUFF" written in a banner, and cobalt freehand lines above and below the words. The interior is glazed with brown albany slip. A rare, southern advertising piece made for a merchant in one of the most historic Southern cities.
