Very Large Mason's Ironstone Jug or Pitcher Basket Japan Pattern, Circa 1830

About the Item

This is a good and very large Mason's Ironstone Hydra jug or pitcher in the Basket Japan pattern, made in England circa 1830 and is particularly decorative, and a much larger size than we normally see. The jug has the octagonal "hydra" shape with a notched snake handle and is decorated in the distinctive "Basket Japan" pattern, which is one of Mason's well known chinoiserie patterns, using bold hand painted enamels of cobalt blue, green and burnt orange all in various shades and possibly over a light printed outline. This pattern is illustrated on Page 103 of "A Guide to Mason's Patent Ironstone Patterns, circa 1813-circa 1848" as published by The Mason's Collectors' Club. This jug is fully marked to the base with one of Mason's black printed marks with the rectangular crown and banner, indicating a date of circa 1825 to 1835.
