Beswick Ware David Copperfield ‘Micawber’ Design Ceramic Character Jug No. 310 (Green Hat)
For a full product description, see below.
This is a nice example of a ceramic character jug depicting 'Mr. Micawber' from Dickens' 'David Copperfield' and produced by Beswick.
The rim of the jug is formed by Micawber’s green hat. He has a comical face with protruding ears. The lower part is formed by the collar of his green jacket, red neckerchief and starched white shirt collar. The handle is in the midline at the back and is in the form of a rolled parchment with a seal, and the words ‘TITLE DEED’ handpainted around the top. The base of the handle has the word ‘MICAWBER’ impressed.
The interior and the base are white. The base has an unglazed rim, revealing the underlying ceramic body to be white. The centre is impressed with the words ‘310 MADE IN ENGLAND BESWICK MICAWBER’. In addition, there is the transfer printed manufacturer’s mark, which reads ‘BESWICK WARE MADE IN ENGLAND’.
This was a second edition, which was produced from 1940 to 1970, with Micawber wearing a green hat as opposed to the original black hat.
It has a height of approximately 22.7cm.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
