Trained by their father Job, the brothers William and John had already gained a reputation for drab (coloured) stoneware  decorated with stoneware  crisply finished applied relief sprigs when William Ridgeway established Church Works, Hanley, in 1831. With his partner James Leonard Abington and (later) his son Edward, by 1843 he operated six separate pot-works in Hanley and Shelton. He was also a noted philanthropist, building alms houses and a school for local children \u2013 many of whom he employed in his potteries. William Ridgway & Co. (later Ridgway and Abington)  became particularly known for relief-moulded jugs, for which it is likely that Abington was the modeller. One of the first to offer such jugs, in the early 1830s, they produced some 26 designs over the next 30 years. Other potters followed, notably Minton and Charles Meigh, and relief moulded jugs (some with ceramic or metal lids) in a wide variety of design became a popular household mainstay for water, beer milk and other liquids which might now be kept in bottles, cans or plastic jars."},{"value":"The jug, one of several in the Fitzwilliam Collection, is an example of  the\u2018artistic\u2019 relief moulded jugs which were popular in mid 19th Century homes.  The scenes are taken from Robert Burns\u2019 narrative poem  \u2018Tam o\u2019Shanter\u2019; the story ends with Tam pursued by witches, who pull off his horse\u2019s tail just before his escape. The smear-glazing makes the most of the way that colour-stained clays show off crisply-moulded ornament, whilst the stoneware would be durable in an everyday setting. The modelling follows engravings by J.Thompson and by Slader of  Thomas Landseer\u2019s illustrations for Marsh & Miller\u2019s 1830 edition of Tam o\u2019Shanter. The poem, written in 1790, was widely known at this time and used as a source by other potters too: the British Museum holds a 1934 relief moulded jug by Machin & Potts of Burslem, which carries a similar but differently modelled design (Cat. 1887,0307,R.12).  \u2018Tam O\u2019Shanter\u2019 was also used as a brand name for products, such as pipe tobacco."}],"periods":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-97680","uid":"adlib-term-97680","uuid":"d0493beb-d54a-30ea-970d-e525d2e9403e"},"summary_title":"Victoria"}],"places":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-110443","uid":"adlib-term-110443","uuid":"8e41da15-698e-303b-ac89-c241a4e52efc"},"hierarchies":[[{"@link":{"type":"literal"},"name":[{"value":"England"}],"summary_title":"England","type":"country"},{"@link":{"type":"literal"},"name":[{"value":"Staffordshire"}],"summary_title":"Staffordshire","type":"region"}]],"summary_title":"Hanley"}]}]},"materials":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-42825","uid":"adlib-term-42825","uuid":"858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d"},"summary_title":"stoneware"}}],"measurements":{"dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","units":"cm","value":"21"},{"dimension":"Width","units":"cm","value":"16"}]},"name":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-89400","uid":"adlib-term-89400","uuid":"194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa"},"summary_title":"jug"}},{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-133695","uid":"adlib-term-133695","uuid":"dcb40d8b-7ed9-31d1-ac20-7e0c30cd82da"},"summary_title":"relief
