Featured Help with identification, please Nice looking jug

This isn't mine yet. It has a height of 20cm.















Pleased don't be influenced by me. My thoughts are for T. or T.L. Rathbone & Co.

 

Looks like the ewer from a wash basin set.

 

That was my first thought too.

It's only 8-inches high!

 

Too funny. A little creamer then.

As a backward American, my eyes glaze over when I see measurements in metric. So it's about half the size of a full-size ewer. Suppose creamer is a possibility, but the shape of the spout seems to me like it would make controlling the amount of cream poured difficult. I'm wondering if it's not a child sized version that did once have an appropriately sized basin to go with it. Pure speculation. Handsome thing.

 

My eyes do the same thing. In any unit of measurement... metric, imperial, US.

Canadians of my age are "bi-measural." We can guesstimate lbs and kgs, miles and kms and inches and cms. We learned imperial and then when the switch to metric was made, we had to lean it. Truthfully, though, I tend to think of a metre as 3 feet rather than 3 feet is approximately a metre.

 

I can easily do lbs and kgs (my weight!) and miles and kms (road trip!) but I've never, ever gotten the hang of cms.

Well as far as Ceramics go (esp UK), let's see what @Ownedbybear has to say ?

 

I wonder if this is Japanese?

 

I don't think so, the pattern is like several English manufactures around the end of the 19th century, early 1900s. I it also a bit heavy weight looking for Japanese.

 

Wash basin sets often came with a smaller pitcher.

I HAVE FOUND THREE MARKS ON IT - IMPRESSIONS I THINK. On the photograph on the base, from the foot at the bottom, first foot to the right; first and second feet to the left. In fact on almost all the feet.

I have bought it, having got the price down from £5 to £4. It should soon be delivered to my daughter in England, who will bring it to me in France at the beginning of April. I am quite excited, but I would still like @Ownedbybear to take a look.

 

Late nineteenth into possibly early twentieth century, in the style of Masons. Probably one of a set of three, and it’s the middle of the set. Polychrome embellished transferware.

 

Thank you OBB. Did you manage to make out anything on the feet, or is it my imagination?

 

And thanks to the rest of you too. When I have at the beginning of April, I will try to get some close-to photographs.
