It has the handwritten EP signature for Emily Partington, as well as a d mark in the clay. The jug is in good condition with a small restoration to the spout. The World’s Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World’s Fair and Chicago Columbian Exposition was a World’s fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival to the New World in 1492. The centrepiece of the Fair, the large water pool, represented the long voyage Columbus took to the New World. Chicago bested New York City, Washington, D. Louis for the honour of hosting the fair. The Exposition was an influential social and cultural event and had a profound effect on architecture, sanitation, the arts, Chicago’s self-image, and American industrial optimism. Among the exhibits, were the carnival rides, among them the original Ferris Wheel, built by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. This wheel was 264 feet (80 m) high and had 36 cars, each of which could accommodate 40 people.
