The jug is pear-shaped with a solid disk base and a loop handle. It is decorated on the front with a large and elaborate rosette with heart-shaped outermost petals, of which the inner background is painted blue. On either side of it is a plant with incised stems and a petalled flower at the top. On the side nearest to the handle, each of the plants has five shoots bearing alternately a carnation or pink and a beaded bud. These are paired with four shoots on the side next to the large rosette, but the fifth on each curves to right or left to meet in a large petalled flower above the rosette. The flowers and buds are all painted blue, and the background extending as far as the area below the handle is manganese-purple. The replacement handle is blue. object type: buff salt-glazed stoneware with applied relief decoration painted in cobalt-blue and manganese-purple object type: buff stoneware, thrown, with applied handle (replaced), and incised and applied moulded relief decoration, painted in cobalt-blue and manganese-purple, and salt-glazed title: jug NOTES ----- type: history note value: Professor Sir James Dewar, FRS (1842–1923), 1 Scroope Terrace, Cambridge; his sale, Puttick & Simpson’s at the house, 26-27 May 1924, first day, part of lot 112; bought by Stanley Woolstan on behalf of Dr J.W.L.
