Title: Where is this pottery jug from?
Post by: roynmargaret on April 29, 2011, 05:54:53 PM

Here's a lovely old studio pottery jug but it has caused some differences of opinion.

I think it is from Devon around 1900 - 1920.

Will Axton the auctioneer valuer on Flog It! thinks it is/may be faience from the west coast of Europe (that's anywhere from Brittany to Portugal!) and may be as old as 1860.

What do the board members think? I can add more pictures if you need them.

I haven't a clue Roy. It's a lovely jug but way out of my comfort zone... hopefully someone might know though.

Might it be considered Stoneware ? Or REDWARE Pottery??

Interesting but the body is definitely not stoneware and the body is actually cream coloured under the glaze.  :thd:

I spent over 5 years in Canada in the late 60s/early 70s. Toronto area.

Here is a more modern piece of studio pottery with a red (terracotta) body. Signed ... but not recognised
