Although the print on the jug varies a few of the details of Boitard’s image, such as the buildings in the background, the inscription beneath is copied exactly. Boitard’s print was designed as a satire of the greed of the clergy. The print and inscription describe a not-so-pious parson who enjoys drink and smutty jokes and gets his comeuppance when he comes to claim a pig as tythe from a farmer’s wife: she insists that if he wants the pig, he must also take her child; the parson then turns away in distaste. The ‘Tythe Pig’ print was very popular throughout the second half of the 18th-century, a time when satirical and humorous prints were an common form of entertainment; some print-makers even published sequels to it, showing the greedy parson returning to try and claim the pig again, only to be outfoxed by the sow herself! Transfer printing was introduced to English pottery in the second half of the 18th century. Most early transfer-printed ware used the glue bat method. In this method, the design was engraved on a copper plate, which was then covered with linseed oil. The thin bat of animal glue was pressed onto the oiled plate and then applied to the ware. Once the bat was removed, the ware was dusted with powdered metallic oxide, which adhered to the oil, and fired to fix the design. This method was common for round-bodied vessels like this mug because the flexible glue bat can easily stretch round curving body. reference term-106779 adlib-term-106779 f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a 18th Century, Late reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-106944 adlib-term-106944 8e183a88-c2c5-3ba8-8ced-c5e1cc027cf6 literal England England country Liverpool black reference term-108168 adlib-term-108168 0fcc3e04-2ff3-3bde-810f-0474bbfa0943 ceramic printing colour cream coloured reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Height cm 15 Width cm 15 reference media-46514 adlib-media-46514 a9440f8f-310f-3029-94b6-334ab93d2637 jpeg aa/aa3/C_735_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583483967 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_735_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583483967 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_735_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583483967 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_735_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583483967 1 image 0 media image reference media-46515 adlib-media-46515 223fcbb9-e3cf-3044-8aab-90e425883b6b jpeg aa/aa3/C_735_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583488346 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_735_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583488346 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_735_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583488346 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_735_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583488346 1 image 1 media image reference media-46516 adlib-media-46516 d04e65d0-2089-3df8-9b60-38e0d80a415e jpeg aa/aa3/C_735_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583500021 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_735_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583500021 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_735_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583500021 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_735_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583500021 1 image 2 media image reference term-91188 adlib-term-91188 40f320f4-04b6-3303-8129-f9e81e2b4671 mug history note provenance unknown before William Turner, Esq., Purley Chase, Atherstone, Warwickshire; Turner sold to Mr Stoner, London, who then sold for £3 on 14 March 1911 to Dr J.W.L.
