About the Item

"Peace, Plenty and Independence" Liverpool Transfer Decorated Creamware Jug, Circa 1800 The "Peace, Plenty and Independence" Liverpool transfer decorated creamware jug has a black transfer print on one side depicting a spread wing eagle perched atop a cannon flanked by symbols of Peace and Plenty with the other side with the "Farmer's Arms," the front with "Samuel & Rachel Hayne.s" within a wreath above four lines of verse, inspired by Cupid's Lessons, reading, "My love is Fix'd, I cannot range,I like my choice,Too well to change". a second stanza not shown read " Long may we live, Happy may we be, Blest with content, And from misfortune be". Dimensions: 10 1/8 inch height x 9 inches wide x 6 1/4 inches deep. The print of an eagle with its wings spread standing on a cannon above a medallion containing the words, “PEACE, PLENTY, and INDEPENDENCE.” This is flanked by two allegorical figures. The figure on the left represents “plenty” holding a cornucopia, while the one on the right represents “peace” using her torch to set fire to instruments of war. The New York Historical Society Museum has a jug with the same print from The Dr. Arthur H. Merritt Collection of Anglo-American Historical Staffordshire. See Ronald W. Fuchs II who writes about a loan exhibition titled Peace, Plenty, and Independence: Selections from a Collection of English Ceramics made for the American Market, 1770-182, at the Delaware Show, "The inscription on this jug, "PEACE, PLENTY AND INDEPENDENCE," symbolized the hopes and dreams of the citizens of the new United States. Its simple but eloquent message is reinforced by the figures of Peace, destroying the tools of war, and Plenty, holding a cornucopia. They flank the central medallion that is surmounted by a cannon and an American eagle, representing the military might that helped win independence. Eagles, flags, and patriotic slogans were among the most popular emblems to appear on ceramics made specifically for the American market".

Masons Ironstone Jug or Pitcher in rare Cashmire Ptn, William 1Vth Ca 1833
By Mason's Ironstone
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
This is a good, Mason's ironstone hydra jug with a snake handle in the Cashmire De Thibet pattern dating to the William 1Vth English 19th century period, circa 1832-1836 The jug has an octagonal hydra shape with a snake handle. This pattern is not often seen. It is called "Cashmire De Thibet" and is illustrated on page 60 of the book; A Guide To Mason's Patent Ironstone Patterns, published by The Mason's Collectors' Club. The jug is unmarked to the base as was sometimes the case, but is definitely by Mason's Ironstone as they were the only manufacturer to produce a jug in this shape with this pattern and dating to the English William 1Vth period circa 1832-1836. Overall a very nice Masons Hydra Jug or Pitcher in a rare pattern. Notes on the pattern. This unusual name of "Cashmire De Thibet" was a name applied circa 1832-1836, to summer scarves...
