collector's note:
william brownfield (d.1873), operating in partnership from 1837 and under his sole name from 1850, was one of the most prolific producers of relief moulded jugs. Between 1851 and 1883, the business registered 27 jug designs, noted by jewitt in 1878 as ‘a speciality of this firm and remarkably good’; some of these were decorated with enamels.
this jug commemorates the marriage of edward, prince of wales to princess alexandra of schleswig-holstein, which took place on 10 march 1863 in st george's chapel, windsor. The jug was produced both with and without a cover and in different stoneware colors, including blue; it seems to have sold well as it was still offered in the firm’s catalogue, circa 1876. Relief moulded jugs were popular in mid-19th century homes, where they were used for water, beer milk and other liquids which might now be kept in bottles, cans or plastic jars. The smear-glazing makes the most of the way that color-stained clays show off crisply-moulded ornament, whilst the stoneware is sufficiently durable for everyday use.
