A large 'Dutch Jug'

circa 1757
Cabbage leaf moulded, the deep ribbed neck applied with a double scroll handle, a formal border of leaves around the neck rim, fully painted with the colourful 'Mobbing Birds' pattern, comprising a large pair of birds in a tree surrounded by other delightful smaller birds and insects in flight, the leaf border picked out in shades of bright green edged with puce scrolls, further scrollwork on the handle, 26.5cm high (some fine body cracks)

Footnotes

Provenance: the Zorensky collection, part 3, lot 39. Illustrated by Sandon and Spero (1996), fig. 68. At Worcester the 'Mobbing Birds' pattern was painted by a number of different hands. The vase and cover, lot 41 in this sale is carefully copied from Chelsea, whereas the treatment of the bird painting on this jug couldn’t be more different. The birds and insects here are certainly not 'naturalistic' and instead possess a robust character all of their own
