Inverted-coneshaped body, with flared neck and lip and an over-arching handle, set on a low pedestal foot. The exterior covered with relief moulded designs. Round the middle are two scenes: the first shows a man lighting his pipe before a fire while his dog looks on and behind him companions are drinking in an ale house; in the other, Tam o’Shanter rides though a wood, pursued by two flying figures, one of whom grasps the horse’s tail. The handle is moulded in the form of a hand clutching a horse’s tail. Ornate patterns run around the neck and foot: a wreath of thistle between rhe body and the neck and a leaf scroll beneath the neck rim. The outside is smear-glazed, the interior fully glazed and shiny. The underside is recessed and smear-glazed. reference exhibition-1313 adlib-exhibition-1313 a1af3737-e16d-3118-bc9b-7dcc4b70b56b The Essential Horse C.1273-1928 1 accession number C.1273-1928 107884 priref 107884 1904 1904 1904 Glaisher notebooks Vol 2 old object number 2207 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/107884 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/107884 underside of base impressed Published by/ W.

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 – 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. The jug, one of several in the Fitzwilliam Collection, is an example of the‘artistic’ relief moulded jugs which were popular in mid 19th Century homes. The scenes are taken from Robert Burns’ narrative poem ‘Tam o’Shanter’; the story ends with Tam pursued by witches, who pull off his horse’s 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’s illustrations for Marsh & Miller’s 1830 edition of Tam o’Shanter. 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). ‘Tam O’Shanter’ was also used as a brand name for products, such as pipe tobacco. reference term-97680 adlib-term-97680 d0493beb-d54a-30ea-970d-e525d2e9403e Victoria reference term-110443 adlib-term-110443 8e41da15-698e-303b-ac89-c241a4e52efc literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Hanley reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware Height cm 21 Width cm 16 reference term-89400 adlib-term-89400 194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa jug reference term-133695 adlib-term-133695 dcb40d8b-7ed9-31d1-ac20-7e0c30cd82da relief moulded jug history note Bought on 15 December 1904, from Woolston, Cambridge, by Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge 1 same maker reference object-75217 adlib-object-75217 2fe67377-83e2-3f03-beaf-8a5ca60559ba
