A Worcester creamjug, circa 1753-55

Of lobed pear shape with silver-shaped handle, painted with a 'Long Eliza' figure in walking attitude and pointing to one side, a low red fence behind and a willow tree to the right, the reverse with a bird on a flowering branch, more flowers and rockwork below the spout, 8cm high

Footnotes

Provenance
Ralph Kenber Collection

Compare the painting with a similar jug of the same pattern in the John Alchin Collection, lot 10 in this sale. There are significant differences in the style and execution of the pattern, both jugs clearly painted by different hands. This decoration was probably influenced by Staffordshire saltglaze and English opaque white glass of similar date.
