Ceramic water pitcher with 'Black & White' Buchanan's Blended Scotch Whisky advertising

This ceramic pitcher is a promotional item from Black & White Scotch Whisky, a brand established by James Buchanan in 1884. The brand became famous for its distinctive Scottie dog mascots and received a Royal Warrant, as indicated by the 'By Appointment' text on the pitcher. Such advertising water pitchers were commonly distributed to bars, restaurants, and hotels throughout the mid-20th century as promotional merchandise. These whisky-branded water pitchers are highly sought after by collectors of breweriana, advertising memorabilia, and Scotch whisky enthusiasts. The Black & White brand's iconic imagery and Royal connection make these pieces particularly appealing to those interested in British spirits history and vintage barware. Collectors appreciate these pitchers both for their nostalgic advertising appeal and their functional design as attractive serving pieces.
