Maker: Minton  Pattern: Cottage and Cart

Superb little jug in amazing condition. Lovely rural scene of a man in a horse and cart, before a country cottage, all within a pretty floral border.
A toy cup and saucer in this design were exhibited at the True Blue exhibition of British blue transfer printed earthenware at The Wedgwood Museum in 1998, when they were attributed to the Cambrian or Glamorgan Potteries at Swansea, under the pattern name of The Carter. This jug has no maker's backstamp, but we believe it is more correctly attributed to Minton. The shape and design are both associated with that factory.
Provenance: The Patricia Davies Collection.

Dimensions: 7.5 cm high, 0.1ltr / 3 ins high, 0.125 pint
