Wonderfully painted soft paste yellow ware pottery jug made in Leiestershire, located in central England
The hand painted pastoral scene in black seems to have been inspired by an 18th century engraving
Hand lettered and dated: “Thee Creswell, Ibstock 1818”
Jug stands 6-1/2″ tall
A graceful tin handle with thumb grip and curled flourishes replaces the original pottery handle, which must have broken off at least 100 years ago
