A series of sprigged lead glazed? earthenware? jugs with large
grotesque faces. The body might suggest Bristol or even
Staffordshire but the sprigs are much closer to those on
Derbyshire (Brampton/Chesterfield) salt glazed wares. We
associate the Briddons with high quality (often signed) honey
coloured salt glaze but they also made bricks (Freebody's
Directory 1852) and a lead glazed earthenware copy of the well
known monkey jug (made in stoneware in both Staffordshire and
Denby) is known with a label indicating manufacture (1850) at
the Walton pottery of William Briddon.

These jugs are probably from the same source as
another series of earthenware jugs and tankards with reeded necks. |
