IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 74404 accession number: C.31-1961 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Monday 18 December 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Soft-paste porcelain, decorated with an green ground, painting in blue, shades of green, pink, mauve, and brown enamels, and gilding. The jug stands on three short rustic feet. The bulbous body contracts at the neck and then flares upwards and outwards at the front to form a lip, the rim at the sides being slightly everted and notched. The rustic handle rises up directly from the rim and curves upwards and then outwards and downwards in a single loop until it meets the most bulbous part of the body. Sprays of flowers and leaves in relief sprout from the junctions of the legs and handle with the body. The pear-shaped reserve beneath the lip is painted in polychrome enamels with a mauve and blue bird perched on the branch of a tree with more trees in the background, and surrounded by a band of gilding tooled with a zig-zag line. There is a band of gold oeil-de-perdrix pattern on the green ground immediately below the lip, which is divided from the remainder of the ground by a wavy gold line entwined with a garland of gold leaves. The flowers and leaves in relief are gilded and there are touches of gilding on the feet and handle. object type: Soft-paste porcelain, milk jug decorated with a green ground, a reserve painted in enamels with a bird on a branch, and gilding title: milk jug NOTES ----- type: history note value: Unknown before testator LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: Louis C.
