This striking antique English pottery pitcher features a deep cobalt blue glaze accented by a vibrant gilded bird and floral motif. The body displays a distinct embossed chevron texture and a scalloped rim, complemented by a contrasting white handle with gold detailing. Dating from the circa 1920s, the piece is a fine example of the Chinoiserie resurgence within the Art Deco movement. This style was famously produced by celebrated Staffordshire potteries in the Burslem area. The jug has a dense earthenware body that produces a clear, resonant sound, and the base is marked with a "Made in England" stamp and an impressed shape number "2."
​Condition:
The jug is in good condition with no chips or cracks. The cobalt blue and gold remain very rich and vibrant. There is some light wear and fine surface crazing present, which is typical and expected for an authentic antique of this age.
