8471 Antique Buff Ware Jug
Description
An antique Staffordshire buff ware jug dating to the mid 19th century around 1860, making it Victorian in period. The body is moulded with characters alto-relievo possibly of John Barleycorn or similar. The characters also appear to be of different social status according to their dress, perhaps the sentiment is united in drink!
The jug has a typical pewter lid with thumb lift and it would have been used for serving drinks. The quality of the moulding etc is much better than average so this item would not had been a cheap basic item in it's day and was perhaps employed at a good inn or hotel.
The exterior is in matt buff finish and the interior is glazed to hold liquid. There are no makers marks which was quite common at the period, and the jug would have come from one of the numerous Staffordshire Potteries companies.

Body very good for it's type and period. Very faint hairline through the foot and footrim. Crease to the end of the pewter lid along with normal age related wear to the pewter. A nice looking example.
