Fulham stoneware hunting jug with sterling silver rim
This sterling silver mounted stoneware hunting jug is decorated with applied sprigs portraying a fox hunting scene around the base, whilst birds in flight pass overhead. These jugs were used for the serving of ale or beer and were popular during the Arts and Crafts period. The sprigs are made when clay is pressed into a very shallow mould, gently teased out, and then carefully applied by hand to the body of the jug, before the piece is fired and glazed. The sterling silver mount is marked London 1870 and carries the makers mark of George Fox. The jug stands 215 mm (8.5 inches) high and has a diameter of 167 mm (6.5 inches). The handle terminal found at the base of the grooved strap handle indicates its Fulham pottery origin. It has a buff base and a brown dip glaze to the top and is in excellent condition.
