This is a highly collectable piece of British pottery. It is now over 200 years old and dates to the Regency Period; c 1820s.
It is in excellent condition with no damages
It is also a rather large size. It is unmarked but it is made by Ridgway and is called a Griffin Pattern jug. The lilac colour is particularly attractive. The sprigware and lilac ground are glazed over with a clear glaze.
As you can see from my photographs, it is a really beautiful piece of antique British ceramics.
The decoration on the wee jug or creamer features winged Griffins and tiny playful winged putti on each side. It has a fantastic beautifully modelled mask head spout. There is a classical urn on the front below the mask. There are scrolling acanthus leaves on the main decorative frieze. Above, is a shallow frieze of applied sprigware fruiting vines.
It is clean inside, nice and there is no crazing to the glaze and no losses to the sprigware decorations.
I have the rarer large example in stock. This is the smaller creamer jug which measures 4 3/4 inches. (12 cm). The overall height is 3 1/4 inches (8.5 cm).
The jug will be posted to you with Royal Mail Small Parcel (Tracked). This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
