Milk Maid Cream Pitcher

[River Rat]

Can someone help me ID this? Was found on the property about 25 years ago. It was not broken when I found it; it got shattered when son was a tot in a walker. I tried glueing in back together and over the years the glue did not hold up too good. I have been calling it a "Milk Maid Cream Pitcher" Writing on the bottom "Gold Castle"?? I can make out the "Cas _ _ E" "Hand Painted" "CHIK US". The hallmark looks like those Japanese houses.

Thanks!

"Gold Castle" is correct. The "Chik..." mark is "Chikusa." Made in Japan, all right— some in Occupied Japan, I believe.

If someone is feeling bored... they can flip through these, there a zillion examples and it might be in there...
