Description
C-17815
Ceramic pitcher with molded relief hunting scene in rich treacle-glaze (also known as Rockingham glaze). The body depicts mounted riders and hounds in pursuit, framed by foliage and scrolling borders. The handle is formed in a naturalistic branch style, adding texture and dimension to the design. The glossy brown glaze with golden highlights emphasizes the raised detail, a hallmark of 19th-century decorative pottery. Relief-molded hunting ware was popular among English and American potteries in the Victorian era and into the early 20th century, blending functional tableware with decorative storytelling. These pieces were often used in taverns and parlors, evoking themes of sport and country life.
Surface shows light wear, crazing, and glaze variation consistent with age; hairlines present in base that appear on both the interior and exterior.
8" dia and 9.5" H
