EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of art history - the George III North Devon jug, created in 1761. Crafted from brown slip decorated earthenware, this exquisite ceramic pitcher stands at an impressive height of 28 cm. The intricate design on this jug is truly mesmerizing. Scattered throughout its surface are sgraffito type patterns depicting a compass surrounded by sea figures and beasts, creating a sense of enchantment and mystery. On the reverse side, we find the inscription "Benjeman Davis 1761" adding an intriguing personal touch to this historical artifact. Believed to be the work of Barnstaple or Fremington potters, this jug represents the skill and craftsmanship prevalent during the 18th century English School period. Its delicate mermaid-like handle adds a touch of whimsy to its overall aesthetic. Captured beautifully in this print by Christie's Images, every detail and nuance of this extraordinary piece is brought to life.
