About the Item

A very rare dated inscribed William IV period Pearlware blue white pottery humidor/ tobacco jar cover, 1834. The jar with a pronounced dome or bell shaped cover mounted with an acorn shaped finial, both the cover base are finely decorated with boats on a river within a landscape with castle ruins. The jar has a painted dedication to the front in black lettering, with the legend; "A Present to Mr. Capes 1834". It is rather rare to have such a jar with both a date name of the owner. Condition is excellent, there is no damage or repair, a rare documentary pearlware jar cover dated 1834. Pearlware was a type of pottery most likley invented in Staffordshire in the late 1770s, with a slightly bluey white glaze on a white body. Josiah Wedgwood in 1779 was credited with its creation, however current thinking is that is was invented by Staffordshire potters just a few years earlier.
