A handsome, large, moulded pearlware jug - probably made in Staffordshire.
The jug is moulded with a ‘pineapple’-type body and is simply hand-decorated with silver lustre foliage and russet floral heads. The jug is banded with a silver lustre and russet continuation of the main motif and the rim and handle are trimmed with silver lustre.
The jug is in fair condition with no structural damage. Commensurate with age, the silver lustre rim is extensively worn including some superficial rubbing to the glaze, and there are patches of wear and loss to the floral motifs, as well as some rubbing to the glaze in places, particularly at the apexes of some of the ‘pineapple’ protuberances . Despite these imperfections and signs of imprudent handling, the jug displays nicely and has not suffered any cracks or chips.
Height: 6.25”
Date: c. 1830s
