Time Period Manufactured:1800-1849 Hand moulded:Yes Production Technique:Pottery Finish:Glossy Colour:Multicoloured Description.Painted with the "Dr Seuss" (as defined by George and Mickey Deike in their magisterial study of this pattern- "Feathers and Foliage) variant of the pattern. There is the suggestion that this variant was produced by Fell and Co, in Newcastle. Deike express scepticism as to that claim, but the position remains uncertain. There is a teapot of this exact design which has been reported to be marked "Fell"-see plate 5.137 of Deike.
Whatever the origin, this is a charming miniature cream jug-probably from a childs toy set.

We do not offer combined purchase. The time it takes to source and pack items is considerable.
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian states unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
We do not generally point out crazing, and do not regard it as a defect worth mentioning in pieces of the age we sell, unless it is not completely noticeable in photographs and is both extensive and undiscoloured. If you have concerns as to whether a piece is crazed, please ask us.
