Guernsey Copper Lidded Guernsey Milk Creamer Jug, 19th Century
About the Item
A beautiful Guernsey Copper Lidded Guernsey Milk Creamer Jug, 19th century.
Copper containers of varying shapes and sizes have been used in English homes and kitchens for many centuries. Copper and its alloys were particularly popular metals for storing and preparing foodstuffs, not only because they were they durable, but because these metals exhibited natural antibacterial properties. This particular jug, most likely made for the storage and serving of liquids such as water or milk. The baluster shape, subtle geometric patterns on the neck, and fitted, "compound" dome lid all reference Guernsey traditions. Around the centre of the jug at its widest point, and vertically below its handle, can be seen a geometric, gold coloured, line. This is a seam where two pieces of copper have been brazed together. Often referred to as a ‘dovetail’ (more correctly a ‘cramped’ or ‘castellated’ joint) this seam was a time-consuming hand process, and demonstrates a fair level of skill and craftsmanship. The copper handle is attached with large hand-hammered rivets, and the rounded body of the container is raised on a sturdy riveted spreading foot.
