Beswick Trentham Ware Ceramic Jug No. 654 with Fox and Squirrel Motif
For a full product description, see below.
This is a highly attractive example of a large decorative jug by Beswick and dating to the 1930s.
The jug has a rounded body with a flared rim, which has the appearance of having been pinched in to form a spout. The handle is relatively short, extending down to just below the shoulder. The design is very eye-catching, although somewhat crude. The leaves, trees, flowers and animals are all moulded in relief and painted in different colour glazes. The jug depicts a fox sitting patiently at the foot of a tree, in which sits a squirrel. This design is only on one side of the jug. There is a flat foot, the underneath of which is impressed with the words ‘MADE IN ENGLAND’ and the number ‘654’.
It has a maximum height of approximately 24.0cm, and a diameter across the base of about 10.0cm.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
