Liverpool Jugs
Rare, Possibly Unique Fire Related Liverpool Pitcher
Unique under glaze painted hand-tub...
Probably Produced At The Herculaneum Pottery
Late Eighteenth Century
This outstanding 9.5-inch pitcher features a large transfer of Washington and Franklin before a map of the United States on one side, the initials W over NP wreathed in grapevines and a Herculaneum-type eagle beneath the spout; of special interest is the previously unseen 18th century hand tub fire pumper on the other side. The pumper is hand painted in black under the glaze and is surrounded by a transfer of boughs and flowers. There are no apparent chips, cracks or repairs and only some light scattered stains. The glaze has a tight overall crackle that spirals upward as expected on old Liverpool pieces.
Price: $16,500

Important Liverpool Pitcher of American Historical Interest
One of the great rarities in historical creamware...
"The Gallant Defence [sic] of Stonington August 9th 1814...Stonington is free whilst her Heroes have one gun left". The reverse polychrome scene above "United States Frigate Guerriere, Com Macdonough, bound to Russia July 1818". Owners initials "CL" in cartouche under spout; transfers are crisp and bold - a great scene of ships attacking this small costal Connecticut town while the defenders fire a cannon from a fortress having an American flag flying overhead; overall condition appears to be perfect with exceptional professional restoration to a couple of cracks. (See Anglo-American Ceramics by David and Linda Arman, pages 44, 100, 188.)
Price: $28,000

Beneath is a transfer of an eagle with outstretched wings, a shield and clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons; and with stars above it. The top surmounted with black transfer of garlands, there is a green enamel stripe around the base. There is an area of honest restoration (clearly visible under black-light) from the lower portion of the spout to the top of the medallion, otherwise very good condition. Approximately 11-inches and very bulbous-aesthetically commanding.
