Ceramics Archives SOLD Sunderland Jug Crimea and Sailor's Farewell |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
This jug has the Sailor's Farewell on one side, a Crimean War transfer on the other, and beneath the spout a lovely verse which begins "Remember me, / When this you see.."
|
|
Puzzling is the fact that the jug is named and dated G. A. Gardner 1867, and the Crimean War ended in 1853. Perhaps it is commemorating Mr. Gardner's death as a Crimean War hero? (just my hypothesis)
|
|
7.25" tall and in excellent condition with the usual bit of wear to the lustre around the rim.
|
|
$750.00 SOLD
