It was made at Caughley in Shropshire, but it was decorated at Robert Chamberlain's enamelling workshop in Worcester. Chamberlain was originally a 'pot painting' apprentice at the Worcester porcelain factory. He left around 1786 and started his own business in the same city. At first he ran this as a decorating studio, working as a sub-contractor for Caughley. He also bought Caughley wares and decorated them for re-sale on his own account. \r\nJugs with cabbage-leaf moulded patterns were very popular in Britain between the 1750s, when the design was introduced, and about 1800. Cabbage-leaf jugs could have a pouring lip formed as a mask or a plain cylindrical neck. They were first made at the Worcester porcelain factory. A Worcester porcelain price list of about 1755-1756 describes them as 'Dutch Jugs'. They were then made at Lowestoft, Caughley and several of the Liverpool factories. The design was also copied in Chinese porcelain for export to Europe.","physicalDescription":"Jug of soft-paste porcelain moulded in relief, painted with enamels and gilded. Egg-shaped body moulded with a cabbage-leaf pattern. Cylindrical neck, spout moulded with a bearded mask and scroll handle. In front is a landscape with a turkey and exotic birds. On either side is a group of fruit. Round the neck is a wreath of fruit and flowers intertwined with a purple ribbon, and below is a leaf border in gold.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Davis, George","id":"A6790"},"association":{"text":"decorator","id":"x30812"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Caughley Porcelain Factory","id":"A6715"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Chamberlain's factory","id":"A6789"},"association":{"text":"decorator","id":"x30812"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"soft paste porcelain","id":"AAT10665"}],"techniques":[{"text":"moulded","id":"x30076"},{"text":"painted","id":"AAT54216"},{"text":"gilded","id":"AAT53789"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Soft-paste porcelain moulded in relief, painted with enamels and gilded","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Porcelain","id":"THES48907"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2006AP0556","2006AU2053","2018LC2735"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"139 (VA)","id":"THES49874"},"free":"","case":"H","shelf":"3","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Jug","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Caughley","id":"x43797"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Worcester","id":"x33938"},"association":{"text":"decorated","id":"AAT56257"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1790","earliest":"1785-01-01","latest":"1794-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Alfred Darby, Esq.","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"21.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"14.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Jug of soft-paste porcelain moulded in relief, painted with enamels and gilded, decorated by George Davis at Chamberlain's factory, Worcester, made at Caughley Porcelain Factory, Caughley, ca. 1790.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Young, Hilary. <u>English Porcelain, 1745-95</u>.
