Beautifully colourful large early Victorian period jug made circa 1854 by Brownfield.

Hand coloured over a transfer pattern. Nice moulding detail where the handle meets the body. A good sized jug, eye catching and very good for display.

Brownfield were manufacturers of earthenware and porcelain (porcelain introduced in 1871) at Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent 

They were a very sucessful manufacturer, and at one point employed 500 people. 

From 1836 William Brownfield worked the Cobridge Works with other potters, then on his own from 1850 when this jug would have been made, until 1871 
when he was joined by his eldest son William Etches Brownfield.
