SR010
£525
1821 Death of Queen Caroline Pottery Jug. This is a rare item because of its shape, floral decoration and colour, and its detailed commemoration. It has a scalloped rim, with a diameter of 9cms. The height is 12cms. This is obliviously a commemorative supporting Queen Caroline, as on the back, above the Green Bag verse, is reference to “Our Much Loved Injured Queen.” The colourful transfer on the front repeats this, but also gives her birth, marriage and death dates. There has been a small professional restoration to the lip, otherwise this very scarce item is in its original condition.
SR011
£445
1831 Coronation of William and Adelaide. This jug has a height of 18cms. and was produced by Minton. The sharply molded basket weave body, spout, rim and handle enhance the blue transfer decoration of the handle, inner and outer rim, (the latter showing symbols of state). The front transfer is a head and shoulders portrait of William and the reverse is of Adelaide. The quality of the portraits is superb, in detail, definition and colour. The glaze is exceptionally clear and bright. The item is in its original condition except for a professional restoration to a minute lip chip.
SR012
£1325
George IV Coronation Jug. This extremely rare item is one of the very few produced to commemorate the coronation in 1821. It has a top rim diameter of 8.5cms, and a height of 14cms. On the main body of the jug is a moulded side portrait of the king, wearing the crown, and flanking this is roses and thistles, all of which are beneath a foliage border. The mouldings are carefully decorated with shades of pale green enamel and puce lustre, while the “king” has been picked out in pink, black, orange and yellow. The crown has been highlighted in yellow and puce lustre, and either side of this, again in puce lustre are the initials “G. R”. The pedestal base, top rim, (inside and out) together with the handle is lined with lustre. It is a superb quality item, in its original state apart from the restoration to the base to seal a star crack.
