I found a pitcher with a scroll shaped plaque on the front. It is an art Pottery pitcher signed Ellis. On the plaque it states " Resturante Gus's forty-niner, Est. 1969, Highway 49, Charlotte, N.C. It also has a Dieo or Diego or a word I can't make out, and then Studio mark on the very bottom edge. I would really love to get some more information about it for provenance. Are you able to provide any? I have photos but there is no way for them to go on this message. I found it at a GoodWill Store in Medina, Ohio.
