Large Handpainted Water Jug - Shorter


SOLD


Very large and visually striking handpainted water jug. The painting over the embossed floral design is quite crude and it is marked on the base "Hand painted by Shorter England". Whether this is Shorter & Son, I don't know as the backstamp doesn't really match anything of theirs I can find. If it is, it is at least 50 years old and in that case it's in extremely clean condition and with only a minimum of crazing. Regardless, it is a very distinctive display piece.

18cm x 12.5cm x 17.5cm (across handle)
