I’ve been very lucky to acquire two; the other is green.
I’ll take one home to see if I can fit it into my ‘becoming very packed’ apartment.
So, either one or both will be sold.

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.

Below is a wonderful article written and published by my beautiful friend Carolyn McDowell, passed away 2019.

Jamie Allpress of Allpress Antiques at Malvern in Melbourne, enjoys collecting charming ceramic jugs, which were originally created to hold liquid.
I share his passion, especially for well-shaped jugs that can be used to hold fresh flowers stylishly.

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.
Notice how even a retro made semi Chippendale style dining chair can match so well with a striking piece of art 300 years older.
Contemporary framing can completely change the look of a copper engraving, painting, lithograph, even old photos. It’s not hard.
These chairs were unattractive, dark and had shocking patterned upholstery.
Once again, it’s not too hard to improve a chair.
I have these in a window display this week.
Quite eye catching, along with the descriptions of both.
As always it’s important to create interesting window displays

Johannes “Jan” Kip Amsterdam 1652 – 1722
Jan Kip was a Dutch draftsman, engraver and print dealer.
Kip and Leonard Knyff, made a speciality of engraved aerial views of English country houses and estates.
Personally, I find his work astounding and so ahead of his time.
Kip remains my favourite of all architectural artists.

Kip was a pupil of Bastiaen Stopendaal (1636–1707), from 1668 to 1670, before setting up on his own; his earliest dated engravings are from 1672. In April 1680, at the age of 27, he married Elisabeth Breda in Amsterdam.[1] After producing works for the court of William of Orange in Amsterdam, Kip followed William and Mary to London and settled in St. John Street in Farringdon, where he conducted a thriving printselling business. He also worked for various London publishers producing engravings after such artists as Francis Barlow (c. 1626–1704) and Caius Gabriel Cibber (1630–1700), largely for book illustrations. He made several engraved plates for Awnsham & John Churchill’s A Collection of Voyages & Travels (first published 1704). He signed the African scenes in volume V of the 1732 edition as “J. Kip”.
His most important works were the large fold-out folio illustrations for Britannia Illustrata, 1708; for the 65 folio plates he engraved for the antiquary Sir Robert Atkyns, The Ancient and Present State of Glostershire, 1712 (1st edition); and for Le Nouveau Théâtre de la Grande Bretagne ou description exacte des palais de la Reine, et des Maisons les plus considerables des des Seigneurs & des Gentilshommes de la Grande Bretagne, 1715, an extended reprint in collaboration with other artists.
