A Derby armorial jug, circa 1760

of globular or 'gorge' shape with a short cylindrical neck and turned footrim, the grooved scroll handle with a leaf thumbrest, painted on the front with the arms of the Painter-Stainers' Company within a puce rococo cartouche, the sides of the jug painted with birds on leafy branches, flying insects on the neck below a red-brown rim, 17cm high (restored crack in base of handle and filled rim chip)

Footnotes

Exhibited in the ECC Armorial Exhibition, 2008. Research to identify the arms revealed the painter has transposed the colours within two of the quarters on this jug, either in error or in order to improve the appearance of the arms. Another jug is recorded with the same arms but using underglaze blue for the surrounding cartouche, see Albert Amor's 2002 exhibition catalogue, p.48, fig.48.
