EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pitcher from Staffordshire, dating back to the 19th century. Created by the renowned Staffordshire Potteries, this exquisite piece of ceramic art is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of that era. The pitcher features intricate decorative details, including gilded edges and a mesmerizing blue glaze. At first glance, one cannot help but be drawn to the charming scene depicted on this pitcher. A young boy kneels beside a table, his posture reflecting innocence and curiosity. In his hands rests an awata ware jug adorned with mythical creatures - griffins or gryphons - symbolizing strength and majesty. The porcelain's white color serves as an elegant canvas for these mythical beasts rendered in gold tones. Their wings spread wide with grace while their lion-like bodies exude power and nobility. This fusion of mythological imagery adds an air of enchantment to the piece. As we admire this heritage artwork, it transports us back in time to 19th-century England when such masterpieces were highly sought after for their beauty and craftsmanship. Today, this pitcher stands as a tangible link between past and present – connecting us with our rich cultural history. This print not only captures the essence of British ceramics but also celebrates the legacy left behind by Staffordshire Potteries – pioneers in their field who continue to inspire artists worldwide today.
