It is assumed that bears like this were for alcoholic liquor and that their heads served as cups. No contemporary illustrations of them in use have been found. Nor are dated examples known, but it seems likely that they were made between about 1740 and 1770, when white salt-glazed stoneware was most popular. reference term-106451 adlib-term-106451 9cdfd62c-ee07-3884-ae08-c797aad08631 18th Century, Mid reference term-107736 adlib-term-107736 e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1 George II reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country Staffordshire off white reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware Depth cm 12.1 Height cm 17.2 reference media-44854 adlib-media-44854 719519e0-382d-3d8e-9441-f871cdc70b56 jpeg aa/aa7/C_499_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583336630 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_499_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583336630 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_499_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583336630 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_499_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583336630 1 image 0 media image reference media-44855 adlib-media-44855 b689ce49-f5c4-3cdd-8d38-113a0d06f381 jpeg aa/aa7/C_499_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583328866 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_499_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583328866 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_499_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583328866 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_499_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583328866 1 image 1 media image reference media-44856 adlib-media-44856 d005683a-a857-3d83-bcd0-2e6251421048 jpeg aa/aa7/C_499_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583338410 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_499_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583338410 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_499_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583338410 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_499_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583338410 1 image 2 media image reference media-44857 adlib-media-44857 f33c18a2-9747-3e7f-9c3f-421a2c9390e2 jpeg aa/aa7/C_499_20_26_20A_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583329168 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_499_20_26_20A_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583329168 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_499_20_26_20A_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583329168 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_499_20_26_20A_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583329168 1 image 3 media image reference term-116835 adlib-term-116835 b916796e-bd12-3913-bf8f-86f552d77fb8 bear jug history note Puttick & Simpson, London, 24 June 1921, lot 59; sold to Mack for £4.4s. bidding on behalf of Dr J.W.L.
