Church and King- Herculaneum Jug

A stupendous jug with a wonderful geometric shape and design, from the horizontal beading on the tall, shaped neck through to the fluted base with its one horizontal band. A stylish, angular handle with impressive terminals and very well executed floral decoration, typical of this famous pottery.

The simple inscription 'CHURCH and KING'  so evocative, a superb piece.

Circa 1780

Approx - 6.5 inches (165mm) tall.

In very good condition throughout with some restoration to the handle. Typical, minor paint losses and scratching.

For a similar jug see: A Smith Liverpool Herculaneum pottery  frontispiece and plates 30, 31.
