Jug c. 1800

This stoneware jug, made in the Staffordshire Potteries around 1800, features a unique design. The pale green glaze provides a stark contrast to the white relief figures, creating a striking visual effect. The central scene portrays three putti, or chubby baby angels, engaged in a playful, rustic scene. The design is reminiscent of classical motifs and highlights the enduring popularity of Neoclassicism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This jug is a fine example of the artistic sophistication achieved in English ceramics during this period.
