Jug — CRC# 1571

Description

A Plymouth ovoid jug, with straight neck and male mask spout, and 'C' scroll handle, painted in underglaze blue in Chinese style with buildings in a river landscape, and picked out in iron red enamel, beneath trailing flower sprays and a flower and diaper panelled border, 6 1/2" high, circa 1770. As featured in considerable detail by Geoffrey Godden in the above volume, the lower terminal of this jug handle has detached from the body during the firing process, but the factory still deemed it precious enough to continue to decorate - an interesting insight into this short lived production
