On 28 August 1839, Archibald William Montgomerie, 13th Earl of Eglinton and Winton, hosted the famous Eglinton Tournament, at Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire, Scotland, in which the Earl and his guests dressed themselves in medieval-style costumes and took part in processions and competitions. Torrential rain spoiled the first day, and the jousting and melée took place a couple of days later. The tournament was open to the public and attracted tens of thousands of spectators but was arguably a deliberate set piece of romanticism in the face of the widespread social and ideological upheaval experienced throughout Europe during the 1830s. A variety of commemorative souvenirs was produced, including textiles and ceramics, including a range of moulded jugs, in different colours and sizes, by Ridgway Son & Co. This is a particularly large example, and is also mounted. reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-120127 adlib-term-120127 ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315 Victoria I reference term-110443 adlib-term-110443 8e41da15-698e-303b-ac89-c241a4e52efc literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Hanley Height cm 18.8 Width 3.8 reference term-89400 adlib-term-89400 194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa jug history note the family of the donor, Dr Robert Ridgway reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Cf. p. 69, pl. 52, a similar jug, without a cover, 18 1/2 cm high, wand text on p. 68.
