Decorative 19th Century Lilac English Salt Glaze Jug

A wonderful antique English jug or pitcher from the mid 1800s.

with a stippled lilac background, a wide spout, reeded handle, and grapes with vines and bows in relief on the surround.

My best guess is Samuel Alcock of Cobridge, Staffordshire, whose pottery produced beautiful molded jugs.

Masons on Oak, Elm, Chestnut, Walnut, Fruitwoods & Country Furniture

When dressing the 16th – 19th century English and European Oak,

the first thing I think of is Masons Ironstone. They blend so well together.

A lot blends with Country furniture, Japanese Imari, English or French Green Majolica,

Pewter, Stoneware, Parian Ware, Antique and Contemporary Glass, Modern Ceramics,

Australian Pottery, Treen etc.

But, as I said, Masons are like wearing classic fashion items, they always look right.

Like the Little Black Dress, Cashmere Jumper or Black Blazer,

Single Breasted tailored Suit.

Timeless.

Intricate Restoration of 19th century Italian terracotta Amphora.

We recently restored this 19th century Italian terracotta amphora.

They rest on the 31st floor and a freak wind gust broke one into pieces.
Here’s a few after and during photos of our work.
The first photos were taken once back in place.

Restoring is certainly our bread and butter when it comes to business income.
Seeing the smile on a customers face when delivering a finished piece can be more rewarding than the payment…

BTW, the views from this outstanding building are the best I’ve seen in Melbourne.

Late 19th Century European Majolica Jardinière-Vase

Late 19th century European Majolica Jardinière-Vase.

Stunning colours and design.

Majolica originated 14th Century Italy, around 1370, Tuscany and Umbria.

Over the years I have sold hundreds of English and French Green Majolica plates and the likes. Rarely have I stocked the more Italian style.

Personally, I love this vase.

This piece of art could sit on any surface, period to modern and oozing style.

I sold this jug on consignment a few years ago and have just traded with another jug I have for sale.

My customer that has enjoyed the jug the past few years has drawn this.

Beautiful, thanks Elizabeth.
