They subsequently applied underglaze transfer-printed decoration to these forms of earthenware. This created a new market, which expanded rapidly, and Staffordshire warehouses were established in many British towns. In London, a major dealer in china, earthenware and glass displayed this massive jug in his shop near St Paul's Cathedral.","physicalDescription":"Earthenware display jug (estimated to hold 30 gallons), with underglaze blue transfer printing.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Bourne, Baker & Bourne","id":"A6836"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Earthenware","id":"x29356"},{"text":"lead glaze","id":"AAT233430"},{"text":"cobalt oxide","id":"AAT233422"}],"techniques":[{"text":"transfer-printed","id":"AAT53922"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Lead-glazed earthenware, transfer-printed in underglaze blue","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Earthenware","id":"THES48964"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2006AT2417","2017JU6067"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"145 (VA)","id":"THES49865"},"free":"","case":"51","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Jug","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Staffordshire","id":"x29181"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1830","earliest":"1825-01-01","latest":"1834-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Mrs Illidge","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"70.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Weight","value":"33.0","unit":"kg","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Made for London retailers Neale & Bailey.
