An English pearlware “Dutch” shape jug made in Staffordshire, England in the early 1800’s. It is decorated on both sides with a black transfer decoration with red & yellow overglaze washes and silver lustre bands at the top and bottom. Although it has been beat up over the past 200+ years, is riddled with numerous chips and cracks and lost its original handle along the way, I am glad to have plucked it from near oblivion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The banner proclaims “INDUSTRY PRODUCETH WEALTH” along with images including a bee hive, shafts of wheat and farm tools.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jug measures\u00a04-3\/4″ tall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Below a banner which reads “TRUST IN GOD” is the verse:<\/p>\n

“SUCCESS TO THE FLEECE<\/p>\n

THE PLOUGH AND THE PAIL<\/p>\n

MAY TAXES GROW LESS<\/p>\n

AND THE TENANT NE’ER FAIL”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The replacement metal handle with thumb rest has been painted silver to blend in and appear more pleasing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A metal bolt, securing the metal handle to the body of the jug, can be seen from the inside of the fragile jug.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This example has the same form and silver lustre decoration as my jug and shows what the original handle might have looked like.<\/p>\n
