Description:
English soft-paste porcelain, pear-shaped cream jug with a very pale green glaze and some glaze-free areas on the foot rim; and a scroll handle with a brick-red herringbone motif, sparrow-beak lip, and painted in the enamel colors of brick-red, green, black, purple, pink, and gilding in one of the so called Curtis patterns. The jug was purchased by the donor from Wynn Sayman in Richmond, Massachusetts in the early 1990s. Originally thought to be Lowestoft, English porcelain expert Dr. David Redstone said that this pot was not Lowestoft, but could not attribute it to a specific factory during a visit by members of the English Ceramic Circle, May 13, 2010. Dr. Redstone also noted that the base of Lowestoft pieces often look as if they has been sprinkled with salt.
