Bingham used well-fired clay and plaster moulds for his relief designs, which were sometimes coloured. The central medallion shows ‘Essex’ displaying herself to ‘curiosity’ and ‘agriculture’. The side medallion to the right of this shows Boadicea’s victory over the Roman Legion, and the medallion on the left a procession linked to the Dunmow Flitch trials. This ancient tradition, mentioned in Chaucer’s ‘Wife of Bath’s Tale’, awards a flitch of bacon to married couples who can prove they have 'not wisht themselves unmarried again' for more than twelve months. Great Dunmow, home of the trials, is 17 miles from Castle Hedingham. The smaller reliefs represent well known Essex buildings, the arms of various towns and Essex families, and Roman coins. Edward Bingham (1829- 1914) was the son of a Lambeth potter who mainly produced functional wares. The business moved first to Gestingthorpe, Essex, and then in 1837 to Castle Hedingham. From c.1864 Edward Bingham produced ornamental ware, drawing on mediaeval and Tudor styles and notable for its size and exuberant relief decoration, which often includes modeled animals, birds or faces. He used the local terracotta and, later, clay from Devon. Until the mid 1870s, most Hedingham ware was unglazed, and Bingham supplemented income through various other work, variously as a shoe-maker, teacher, sub-postmaster and ironmonger. The pottery was most successful between c.1875-85, with up to 13 kilns operating, but afterwards trade flagged and in 1901 the business was sold, though it continued to operate as ‘The Essex Art Pottery’ until 1905. Bingham continued to make pots there, and then for a few months in a temporary workshop, before emigrating to join his family in North America in 1906. This jug was made for Dr Glaisher, who also bought several other pieces including another jug like it from the potter himself, c.1896. He later bought a modeled crocodile figure (Fitzwilliam collection, C.98-1928) and some twenty other pieces on two visits to the closed pottery, and one to a London showroom, in July 1907. He notes the best of Bingham’s work as ‘ambitious and characteristic work as regards the design modelling’ and ‘really fine and would do justice to any potter’, although he also records several examples of glazing failures. reference term-108070 adlib-term-108070 7e278258-23e3-3d5b-a4ff-ab5ecacb4bf3 19th Century, Late reference term-15214 adlib-term-15214 744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9b Victorian reference term-115403 adlib-term-115403 c1cececa-0779-31c9-a5d1-64287870983d literal England England country literal Essex Essex region Castle Hedingham reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-121303 adlib-term-121303 ec91b069-9e11-397d-92ad-6ab224992074 red earthenware Height cm 37 Height in 14.5 Width cm 28 Width in 11 reference media-47901 adlib-media-47901 fad738d4-7782-34ab-b53f-999714a937ee jpeg aa/aa4/C_99_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616286248570 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_99_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616286248570 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_99_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616286248570 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_99_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616286248570 1 image 0 media image reference media-47902 adlib-media-47902 07e0ae83-169e-3c1b-945f-342c2f975537 jpeg aa/aa4/C_99_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616239592575 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_99_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616239592575 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_99_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616239592575 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_99_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616239592575 1 image 1 media image reference media-47903 adlib-media-47903 63ea5df0-85ad-3e98-a802-385b7dc8dd71 jpeg aa/aa4/C_99_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616257664018 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_99_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616257664018 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_99_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616257664018 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_99_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616257664018 1 image 2 media image reference media-47904 adlib-media-47904 1af235b1-75b2-3e44-9f55-739cf406ba3b jpeg aa/aa4/C_99_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616243368196 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_99_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616243368196 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_99_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616243368196 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_99_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616243368196 1 image 3 media image reference term-89400 adlib-term-89400 194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa jug pitcher history note Made by Edward Bingham for Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge, c.1896. 1 same maker reference object-76489 adlib-object-76489 980bc07c-bf81-34a0-84ba-8c710027baaa
