Ridgway & Son, dating to circa 1840. The body is richly decorated in high relief with a dynamic equestrian jousting scene, framed by Gothic arches and surmounted by a frieze of grapevines and foliage.
The handle is elaborately scrolled with foliate details, while the spout is fitted with its original pewter mount, adding both contrast and rarity to the design. The jug is moulded in a soft jade-green earthenware, its sculptural quality highlighted by crisp modelling and subtle patination.

This piece exemplifies the Victorian taste for historical revival ceramics, combining artistry with functionality. It stands as both a decorative work of art and a testament to the technical skill of Ridgway’s Staffordshire workshops in the mid-19th century.
Perfect for collectors of Gothic Revival ceramics or as a striking decorative accent in an interior inspired by English heritage. This piece has an attribution mark,
