Maker: Ralph Wedgwood Description: Creamware jug printed in black with "AUTUMN" and "SPRING" scenes, each accompanied by a verse from Thompson's poem The Seasons. Thompson was the favorite poet of Ralph Wedgwood's uncle Josiah. The jug was probably made at the Hill Pottery, Burslem, before Ralph's bankruptcy and subsequent move in 1798 to the Knottingley Pottery, Ferrybridge, in Yorkshire. The bankruptcy sale in 1797 included the contents of a black-printing workshop, and this jug was probably printed at the Hill Pottery. A marked example of Spring and Autumn is known, and a marked example of Summer and Winter is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. |
