Description

Large Wedgwood Jasperware jardiniere. Item 1795.

The body of this large Wedgwood jardiniere has been dipped in a light blue Jasperware and decorated with applied sprigs done in a white clay. 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 sprigged decoration sits between two friezes, and is divided into three vignettes separated by trees. As well as classical figures there are winged cherubs, a cupid and pots and baskets of flowers. All together there are twenty such sprigs around the body. The top frieze consists of laurel leaves and fruit, whilst the lower frieze is acanthus leaves. It measures 235 mm (9.5 inches) in height, and 260 mm (10.25 inches) in diameter. The shape is number 1061, which was introduced in around 1878.  There is a small chip to the underside of the rim that measures 12 mm x 5 mm (.5 of an inch x .25 of an inch). The impressed marks indicate that it was probably potted in June 1896.
