Maker: Unknown Description: Creamware jug probably made in Staffordshire. Beneath the lip printed in black is a satirical scene depicting two men engaged in a scuffle while a young woman looks on, her dress in disarray, her stays upon her knee. The poster on the wall tells the story; it reads "The Cuckold Maker CAUGHT A new SONG". On the wall is a picture of a goat positioned so that its horns appear to be above the head of the standing man, denoting him as the wronged husband (wearing the cuckold’s horns). As the workman-like spouse twists the nose of the foppish transgressor, the woman looks on, raising her hand in a weak gesture of restraint. This jug is unusual in the juxtaposition of the print between well-painted floral bouquets and flower sprays. A conventional border at the rim completes the decoration. |
