Early 1800s Pitchers

This is a beautiful milk jug or creamer made by Spode around 1808. The jug is decorated in a richly gilded Imari pattern that has also been seen on Nantgarw porcelain, with beautiful birds. Josiah Spode was the great pioneer among the Georgian potters in England. Around the year 1800 he perfected the bone china recipe that has been used by everyone ever since, and he was also the leading potter behind the technique of transferware, making it possible for English potters to replace the import of Chinese china that had come to an end around that time, with their own. This was fundamental to a thriving industry that would last for about 150 years and provide half the world with their tableware. This pattern is interesting; it is probably copied from a Japanese pattern from the 18th Century. The Japanese Imari patterns from that era can have very rich gilding and this has the traditional Imari colour palette of underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze red and green. In the central panel on each side is a stunning exotic bird, and there is a little yellow bird at the foot under the mouth. The mouth of the jug is unusual; it has a very neoclassical English flower motif left out of the gilt covering. The jug is not marked (which is unusual for Spode) except the nearly washed off number 1291. It is clear from the shape, size and remaining pattern number that this is a Spode jug...
