Two Victorian Hand-Painted Presentation Jugs Dated 1842 and 1845
Description
Two mid-19th-century British presentation jugs of varying forms and materials. The first jug, dated 1842, is of porcelain or fine white earthenware construction in a globular baluster form. It features a pinched wavy rim and a scroll-shaped handle accented with gilt highlights. The body is decorated with hand-painted polychrome floral sprays and bears a gilded inscription reading Wm. Dibbs above the date 1842, which is enclosed within a foliate scroll. The second jug, dated 1845, is of earthenware construction with a waisted cylindrical body and a flared foot. It features a moulded handle in the form of a greyhound. The decoration consists of hand-painted polychrome floral motifs and a black-lettered inscription reading Jn. Wilson above the date 1845. Neither item bears factory marks, symbols, or impressed shapes on the base. These items are consistent with mid-Victorian commemorative or presentation ceramics produced in the United Kingdom.
