When Dr Glaisher purchased it in 1909, he was told that Hannah had been given this jug when she married Gabriel Store, in 1812, probably at Burslem, Staffordshire. The imagery celebrates the production of grain, with verses from a traditional English ballad sung on Plough Monday, when farm labourers returned to work after Christmas and started ploughing. Although the song celebrates self-sufficiency, the jug is a promotion of work, with the motto ‘INDUSTRY PRODUCETH WEALTH’ reproduced twice. On purchasing this jug in 1909, Dr Glaisher was told that Hannah Robinson was given this jug on the occasion of her marriage to Gabriel Store, in 1812, probably at Burslem. He was also told that both Hannah and Gabriel came from Staffordshire families associated with the pottery business, though the decorative theme on this jug is clearly agriculture. Staffordshire was the first, and remained the largest, producer of lustreware, though it was also made in other regions, notably Sunderland. Silver lustre is generally made from platinum, as real silver suffers from tarnishing. The verse ‘Let the wealthy and great…’ is common on jugs celebrating agriculture. It is drawn from a traditional English song based on the 15th century ballads sung by ploughmen on Plough Monday, the first Monday following the Twelfth Day of Christmas, when farm labourers returned to work. The inscription on the other side of the jug – ‘He that by the plough would thrive, himself must either hold or drive’ – is a traditional proverb 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 because the flexible glue bat can easily stretch round curving body. reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country Staffordshire brownish-black reference term-108168 adlib-term-108168 0fcc3e04-2ff3-3bde-810f-0474bbfa0943 ceramic printing colour clear with slightly bluish cast reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze platinum reference term-107831 adlib-term-107831 6da005f1-0bd3-3597-bf45-b3dc0027c837 lustre white reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-107563 adlib-term-107563 38dcd825-1de1-3222-82c6-15a95729b5ff enamels Height cm 14.5 Width cm 17 reference media-46727 adlib-media-46727 5631fa8a-1b4f-3418-afa2-891c9e49592e jpeg aa/aa2/C_774_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583527223 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_774_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583527223 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_774_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583527223 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_774_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583527223 1 image 0 media image reference media-46728 adlib-media-46728 84e35610-a563-3eea-b06a-e55de79b7ba3 jpeg aa/aa2/C_774_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583512491 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_774_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583512491 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_774_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583512491 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_774_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583512491 1 image 1 media image reference term-89400 adlib-term-89400 194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa jug reference term-134016 adlib-term-134016 f945b0b5-23ea-3561-809b-a24844a0006e commemorative jug history note Bought from Mrs Mary Carey, Judd Street, London, N, for 25 shillings, on 15 May 1909 by Dr J.W.L.
