Each of these antique style figures is submitted with a Lion's head, holding a grapes garland. This severe decoration, tone under tone, has a stunning appearance, without any resource of colours. Well signed with printer movable type. Each letter was impressed separately, and the mark is uneven, in a lightly curved shape. It is the genuine signature of the second part of 18thC. Stamped number is 8.
Condition is mint, without any flaw.
We had not cleaned this jardini re before picturing it, and can now certify that some imperfections visible on images were only stickers traces. Most likely made by John Rose Coalport factory, circa 1810. A RARE early Duesbury Derby porcelain water jug or ewer decorated wit bands of blue and delicate gilding. Marked with the cross swords factory mark in puce, circa 1782-1795. There is restoration at the top of the handle where it meets the rim, an old staple was removed and reglued and overpainted.
