  • Antique Porcelain Jugs, Mugs and Ewers

    Antique Porcelain Jugs, Mugs and Ewers

    The material for the body was by no means fixed and one design can be found in soft earthenware, stoneware and parian; in fact, it is occasionally difficult to decide between the last two, the body looking like a fine stoneware or a proto-parian body. Those illustrated on p. 146 could be examples of these and the price would be about the same for each assuming the quality of casting was constant. An earthenware example would be considerably less, mainly due to the lack of definition. Colouring was occasionally
    undertaken, either self-colour in sage, pale blue or buff, or enamelled over the design, often to the detriment of the piece, but superb examples do tum up and are unlikely to fetch as much as they should. Indeed, the whole of the moulded jug market is in need of more serious consideration. One could predict that there would shortly be a sharp rise in price for good examples.
    Also neglected are the porcelain jugs and mugs produced as gifts for retiring mine owners, christening presents, records of marriages or dedications of the heart with appropriate gilt script, messages, bright flowers and occasional emblems. The factories that produced them remain anonymous, as do the decorators, but a collection of the different types of person to whom and by whom they were given would show a fascinating cross section of Victorian sentiment. Most important of ail, they are nearly always dated.
    Large ewers from washing sets are not common in porcelain, most being made of earthenware. Those that do occur are rarely of much value since little regard was paid to them.
    They are, however, very good for flower decoration. Jugs from tea and coffee services are dealt with under that heading.
    Samuel Alcock.
    Samuel Alcock made a large number of classically-influenced wares from the 1840s-60s. The majority of the products were in stoneware and will be dealt with in the forthcoming.
    Price Guide to 19th Century English Pottery. The colours used here are a typical royal-blue ground and a transfer-printed black outline, peach and orange coloured. One of the problems that Alcock’s porcelain suffers from is visible in the photograj| - the ground colour is too thin and soft with the result that it wears badly.

    W. Brownfield 1863
    Elaborate moulded mark and registration.
    A crisply moulded parian jug commemorating the marriage of Albert Edward, later Edward VII, to Princess Alexandra of Denmark. A well designed piece possibly by W. Harry Rogers,
    It is less commonly found with the background enamelled, usually in buff or chocoiate, badly applied and fired, but a superb example has been noted raising the price to ?15—?20.
    The price differential should be greater. Further moulded commemorative jugs will be found in the forthcoming Price Guide to Commemorative Pottery.

    Caughley/Coalport first quarter of the 19th century.
    A rare pair of jugs with good flower painting and a gilt JH in a wreath, the bodies cabbage-leaf moulded, probably from 18th century moulds, and with gilt mask spouts. The Caughley factory sold out to Coalport 1799.

    Chinese decorated E & С Challinor 1862-80.

    An English Staffordshire porcelain jug decorated in Canton. It is almost impossible to explain the reason for its existence possibly it was a sample sent from England to test the possibility о utilising the cheap labour for decorating in China, or it may have been sent by a member of a ship’s company on the spot. It is probably the only example, but even so, not of much value.

    Coalport first half of the 19th century.
    A quite well moulded and painted jug but difficult to display. Good flowers. Originally from a bedroom washing set.

    Copeland mid-19th Century. Impressed name and C.P. Art Union
    An exceptionally high quality parian goblet with matt and burnished decoration. With the interest in parian being revived, at the present mainly in busts and figures, it will probably not be long before really good wares such as this rise fast in price.

    Possibly Davenport с.1835.

    A hand-painted mug with pink cabbage roses and gilt leaves. Attractive but not sought after.

    Doulton 1897. Printed green rosette.
    A good quality Diamond Jubilee piece with the additional interest of an inscription on the side recording its presentation to J.C. Bailey from Sir Heniy Doulton. Had the mug been anything but commemorative, but with the same dedication, it would probably have fetched more.

    Аn interesting jug with a black transferred view of the 1851 Exhibition building (the Crystal Palace) from pot-lids, the Exhibition wares are strangely unappreciated.

    Much rare thing coronation commemoratives and mostly of better quality. Should be more expensive!

    A ‘Gothic’ jug moulded in stoneware and therefore not strictly entitled to appear in this book at all but it serves to show how similar these jugs are to the parian examples. The price of a similar example in parian would be about the same but less sharp moulding could reduce the price to 12.

    Described in the Minton shape book as a “Sevres Ewer” since the shape is based on a Sevres original, this jug is well nioulded and gilt but of an unappreciated period and not flamboyant enough to fetch a high price.

    Paragon 1937. Elaborate gilt mark including name.
    A well-printed  coloured   design  commemorating the non-event Coronation of Edward VIII. This is a limited edition of five hundred numbered on the base and in a fitted box.
    Most commemorative wares since 1902 were issued in vast quantities, often given to school children as souvenirs along with the one-day holiday. These were cherished by their owners and have entered the family folk history usually on the theme that only three were made, one of which is in a museum, one in America and theirs is the other. The truth is that they survive in quantity and are usually sold for between.

    Rockingham 1830-42. Printed griffin in puce.
    The handle of this mug is in the unusual form of a horse’s hoof and the upper part a horse’s tail, which is unique to Rockingham. Many such mugs occur unmarked but can be differentiated from almost identical Derby mugs, in that the latter do not have the upper part of the handle as a tail, i.e. moulded to simulate hair, but are quite smooth.
    The mug illustrated is very rare and extremely well painted with a portrait of the Duke of Wellington in a gilt panel on a claret ground. Altogether the quality, subject matter,
    factory and condition add up to an expensive piece of porcelain. A crack would reduce the price to a

    Royal Worcester at its bizarre best. A rose-water sprinkler, vaguely Persian-influenced. The gilt ground painted with squirrels and birds and all of high quality.

    Royal Worcester 1887. Printed crowned circle, date code.
    The dragon handle is loosely based on the chih-lung that crawls round the shoulders of Chinese Canton-decorated vases of the 1860s on. Not a particularly good example with heavy-handed gilding on brown leaves.

    Royal Worcester 1889
    A neauy and attractively painted pair of jugs with named views of the Rhine and Black Mountain NA, framed by gilt leaves. The upper handle terminal is in the form of a dolphinesque bird’s head. Touches of this sort add to the desirability of what could have been a simple loop handle.

    Royal Worcester 1890. Printed crowned circle, registration, date code.
    A rather ugly jug, printed and coloured with an epiphyllum flower.

    Royal Worcester 1892. Printed crowned circle, date code A good ewer of Persian inspiration, having an ivory body with pale whip-lash floral enamelling. The neck and cover are pierced and the spout removable.

    Royal Worcester 1894. Printed crowned circle, registration, date code.
    Typical of numerous shapes of jugs or ewers produced by the factory in the last quarter of the 19th century and continuing the shapes well into the 20th. The decoration coloured and printed in gilding on apricot, shading to yellow, bodies.

    Royal Worcester 1902. Printed crowned circle, date code
    A very good little ewer with fine landscape painting by Harry Davis, signed. The rest of the body a clear apple green, making this a most desirable piece.

    Royal Worcester 1907. Printed crowned circle, date code
    A well cast ewer with bronzed borders and a scene of sheep by Harry Davis, signed. Davis was known for his sheep, which fetch high prices. His less common landscapes, see p. 147, are painted with greater care but are not much more expensive.

    Royal Worcester 1915. Printed crowned circle, date code
    A pair of ewers of extreme ugliness, the pierced spouts and over-ornate handles doing nothing to help. The paintings by John Stinton, signed, are of his usual standard and his usual Highland cattle.

    An attractive ewer, well printed and painted with flowers, but not collectable item. Originally made with matching basin for use as a washing set in bedrooms before plumbing. In the early 19th century these sets were often of good quality for use by the gentlemen and ladies of the household, but by the middle of the century the gentry were usually ‘on tap’ and only poor quality sets were made for the use of the servants in their garret rooms. They can be found as late as the first world war. Although very good for floral
    arrangements the ewers are still poor sellers.

    Unattributed mid-19th century. No mark large and decorative tankard transfer-printed with a puce outline and brightly enamelled design of a highly degenerate but amusing variation of the 18th century quail pattern originally itself based on the Chinese. The ground is also reminiscent of the Companie-des-Indes porcelain exported to this country from Canton.

    Unattributed c. 1850. Moulded registration.
    A well known parian jug with a cleverly thought-out ans wer to the handle problem, usually a dissatisfactory element in the design of these jugs. This example is cast in self-colour sage green, but can be foundin other pastel tones or white. It is also known in stoneware at roughly the same price, or crude pottery and worth only. The scene, entitled “The Gamekeeper” was issued in biscuit and porcelain by Minton and it is possible that this jug is also from the factory although the standard is not as high as usual.

    Moulded registration
    A parian jug with the attractive decoration well set off by the coloured ground which has, in this case, been well applied and fired. The exterior has a matt finish whilst the interior is glazed.
