Featured Large Moulded Wash Jug Fishing Nets

I bought this big jug today. It stands 26cm tall and is finely moulded with fishing nets and stencilled with fish in light blue. There’s a diamond registration mark but it’s glazed over. There’s also a small impressed mark.

I would describe it as Aesthetic period.

Any thoughts on the maker?

 

never seen anything like it but its a brilliantly quirky piece, would have a guess at minton for some reason

my stepdad was a salmon net fisherman, and believe that to be what the decor is anyway

 

I really love the unique sculpt on this. The net is so well done. That maker had a great eye...whoever they were.

 

now that's the crazing to look for......nice and authentic.... nice water jug !!!!!!!!!!

 

Do you think the painted fish are original? The lozenge would be the key to everything. Perhaps have a look in different lights and angles to make out the letters and numbers. Maybe the small imprinted mark is a mintons year mark?

 

Mintons 1934 perhaps?

 

I have this similar net design on this chamber pot, unfortunately again the diamond is glazed over.

 

Just noticed an impressed mark which I originally thought was just a squiggle, JD ?

 

Mine might be by John Dimmock. Maybe yours is too?

 

I am no expert, but could it be Staffordshire ironstone? I have a chamber pot with the same shape registration mark, except mine can be read and shows a registration date of June 8,1883, indicated by the M (June), K (1883), and 8 for the day. (Source for reading registration mark: Geoffrey A. Godden, Encyclopedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks, rev. ed. 1991, pp. 526-527.) The pot was produced by Henry Alcock & Co. of Cobridge, Straffordshire, England.

The relief design & handle, although clearly different patterns, remind me of my ironstone coffee pot that say it slowly identified as Hidden Motif by Thomas Furnival's pottery, also at Cobridge. (This does not have a registration mark, but a stamped royal arms mark.)

Oops-I was working on this post & missed Houseful's with the same embossed pattern from John Dimmock, also from the Stoke-on-Trent, Straffordshire, area
(https://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/353.htm). So all the suggestions center on the same area, but Houseful found the exact pattern. Very good!

 

The above is fascinating.

Thank you everyone. I'm pretty sure that it is Dimmock.

Yes thank you very much for this. I am sure that you are right. Dimmock it is. Thanks to all who helped.
