Kersey Pottery Stoneware Salt Pig with Floral Design
For a full product description, see below.
This is a highly attractive example of a stoneware salt pig originating from Kersey in Suffolk.
The salt pig is of classic form, with a wide everted rim that tapers in to form a short cylindrical base. There is a small flat protrusion at the top which is pierced to allow the pig to be hung up. It is glazed in a speckled grey colour on both the interior and exterior. There is a band of blue just above the base; this same blue is used randomly around the opening and also to write the word ‘SALT’. On either side of the salt there is a stylised floral motif in blue and brown.
The underside is unglazed, revealing the underlying ceramic body to be biscuit-coloured stoneware. It is crudely cut around the base.
Below the word ‘SALT’ it is impressed with the word ‘KERSEY’. This is filled with glaze but is still legible.
It has a maximum height of approximately 15.4cm, with a diameter across the opening of about 12.3cm and across the base of about 9.0cm.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
