The oval body is beautifully shaped with an elegant pouring lip
and perfectly balanced loop handle. the body has applied moulded decoration
around the upper portion of it's body. This moulded decoration in the form of
foliate swags.
Below the moulded border there are exquisite hand painted scenes
on each side of the creamer jug. The scene on the left hand side of the jug is
of a gentleman sat upon a rock under the shade of a shapely tree. He is gazing
out towards a ruined castle or abbey building in a rolling landscape of hills
and trees. It is a most charming scene that is beautifully painted in full
colour.
The right hand side of the creamer jug is painted with a similar
scene, but this time it shows a stunning English landscape that is rocky with
hills, trees and in the middle distance a castle. The colours and perspective of
these paintings is very fine indeed.
There is a gilt band running around the foot of the jug. Also
the jug has a gilded rim with half gilt dots on the inner rim and outer rim. the
same gilt line and half dot border is used around the shoulder of the creamer
jug. Between this border and the rim is a decorative gilt garland of gilt
leaves.
The elegantly shaped high loop handle has a thumb piece at the
top for ease of holding and pouring from the jug. The back edge of this handle
is enriched with applied gilt decoration.
The base of the creamer jug is painted with the pattern number
1926 in gilt numerals.
