A Staffordshire Pearlware Horned Satyr Bacchus Face Jug, likely dating to the early 19th century. It features a boldly molded face with a mischievous grin, pointed ears, and small horns, characteristic of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, depicted here with satyr-like traits. The face is adorned with colorful grapevines and leaves, symbolizing Bacchus’s association with wine and festivity. The jug is decorated with a white pearlware body, accented by a black feather pattern and vibrant hand-painted fruits in red, yellow, and green, adding to its lively appearance.
The depiction of Bacchus or a satyr reflects a fascination with classical mythology, common in European ceramics of the time.
