Blue white Jasperware jug c.1900

Discussion in 'Pottery, Glass, and Porcelain' started by Nathan Lindop, Aug 31, 2018.

    My dad got this small cream jug in a box at auction. Had a receipt for a £40 restoration in it.

    My dad is thinking Wedgewood. We live in the area and see an ungodly amount of wedgewood here haha

    Marks look like it’s sometime like 1900 not sure whether earlier or later though, leaning to later.

    What d’you think?

    Just found out about the stipple “orange peel” pattern on some Wedgewood apparently reserved for prestigious pieces?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    My understanding is that Wedgwood jasperware is always marked with the word Wedgwood. And the surface doesn't look like jasperware to me. But, others may have more information. I'll look for stippled Wedgwood... since that is new to me.

    Check out the images if you search for 'minton pitcher grapes'.

    Not jasperware and not likely Wedgwood (no second "e" if you mean the famous Josiah Wedgwood factory though there are other less famous factories that do have the "e"). Wedgwood highly prized his mark and went to great lengths to protect it and use it so I'd not think Wedgwood.

    Your jug is relief molded (or moulded to some;)). Probably more like mid 19th C. This type was made by many factories though could probably be identified. My rather good Henrywood book of British Jugs doesn't have this exact jug though.

    Search relief molded/moulded jugs using putti or cherub and grapes and you may find it:)

    I didn’t think it was jasperware or Wedgewood. They were the only guesses I really had I’ll see what I can find with your guys help. Thanks so much

    Not Wedgwood. Might be that German company I can't think of the name of.

    Size? Bigger than a creamer; smaller than a water jug?

    It's not Wedgwood. Many of the English companies made this ware in the early to mid 1800s. As SIS mentioned, it's a relief molded jug in parian ware.

    @moreotherstuff I think you are thinking of Schafer and Vater for the German company.

    Are you thinking Schafer Vater? I don't remember them doing a lot of that dot relief background but I do think it is German.

    sis is right, it's neither jasper nor Wedgwood. I think Schafer Vater too, and I agree not English. That body that looks like white icing is typically German.

    A big difference, again as sis says, is that this is moulded, rather than sprigged. Made as one piece: jasperware had the motifs applied separately.

    Could be German. But could be British like Brownfield or Dudson, perhaps. Agreed, 1850 -1890 ish.
