Up for sale is a breathtakingly beautiful, highly ornate Victorian-style Slop Jar (Master Chamber Pot / Commode Urn) complete with its original matching lid. Produced by the world-renowned Staffordshire pottery Johnson Brothers (Hanley) Ltd. in England, this monumental piece exemplifies the fine craftsmanship of late-19th to early-20th-century English semi-porcelain.
This piece features a striking, scalloped, and heavily embossed swirling rococo mold accented with hand-painted liquid gold gilt trim along the handles, rim, and base fluting. The body is decorated on both sides with vibrant, multi-colored transferware bouquets featuring shades of magenta, violet, lilac, and soft yellow wild flora. Featuring elegant, double-scrolled ornate handles and a deep, multi-tiered footed base, it is an absolute showcase statement piece for modern cottagecore, Victorian restoration, or traditional English farmhouse aesthetics.
