Description:
English Castleford-type white felspathic stoneware oval, baluster-shaped cream jug with molded and applied relief decoration and blue trim. The Castleford Pottery was run by David Dunderdale & Co., operating from 1790 to 1821 in Castleford, about 15 miles from Leeds in Yorkshire; the pottery produced a range of wares in creamware, black basalt, and white feldspathic stoneware. Although many factories, such as the Sowter and Company pottery (1800-late 1820s) of Mexborough, Yorkshire, and the Chetham and Woolley site (c.1795-c.1820) and Davenport Pottery (1794-1887) in Staffordshire, made similar feldspathic stoneware wares, the term 'Castleford' is now used generically to described a wide range of feldspathic stoneware, silver-shaped tea wares, jugs, and similar objects that are slip-cast with relief-molded decoration. The shaped rim and everted spout are outlined in blueBody terminates in flaring inverted lip edged in blue; over a plain curved neck and a band of applied sprig molding of veined leaves; over four blue-outlined panels around the lower body, each with a gadrooned swag; over the flared base and blue-outlined flat foot, The blue-outlined scrolled handle, which extends from the rim, has two furls.
