Large Rockingham Glaze "Souter Johnnie" Character Jug

Large and early Rockingham glazed ceramic character jug of "Souter Johnnie," a character from the poetry and stories of Robert Burns. The jug was probably made in Yorkshire about 1840, and has the distinctive dark reddish-brown glaze associated with Rockingham ware. It shows a jolly, round-face man in a cloth cap, wearing a bow-tied cravat and coat. It has a sturdy handle and poring spout on the side. It is extremely well sculpted. Size: 11 1/2 inches tall by 10 inches wide.

Provenance:Cahill Estate

Condition:

Generally excellent, with minor wear to the glaze at the spout and on the handle, allowing the yellowish clay typical of Rockingham to show through
