Description.
A rare and impressive Derby water jug/ewer, originally from a jug and bowl set. Puce crown over D mark, decorated with Smith's blue band of gilt grapes and vines and, furthermore, semi-circular bands of white raised enamel pearls and gilt sunbursts, above large floral sprays by Edward Withers.
Formerly forming part of the Geoffrey Cope collection. For a similar jug, see Sir Stephen Mitchell- plates 48iii and 77.
Condition.
There are restored chips to the spout and to the right of the handle, as one looks at the handle. There is an undiscoloured star crack to the lower part of the body, on the right as one looks at the jug facing the handle.
Dimensions.
23cm handle to spout.
20cm in height, to top of handle.
We do not offer combined postage as the figure we charge reflect the time taken to pack and source packaging material which is incredibly time-consuming. Ultimately, it is the combined price which reflects the true cost.
See our other items. If you like what you see, we do have other items that are not necessarily listed and which may be of interest.
We use recycled packaging. It helps our environmental footprint, but does not necessarily look very pretty!
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description. An example of such a defect would be crazing-but we do not regard fine crazing as being a defect. If crazing is a particular issue for you, please let us know and we will then report as to whether there is any.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
