The size and style of this example suggest it may be a milk jug or, perhaps, a mustard pot, though there are no obvious signs that it ever had a lid (see note below). Sprigging, the application of designs formed in small plaster, clay or brass moulds and applied to leather hard clay, was a common form of decoration from the late eighteenth century. From around the mid 1820s, such jugs were more often made in two-piece relief moulds. There are several examples in the Fitzwilliam Collection. William Adams ran a pot works in Tunstall from 1779 until his death in 1805; the business then continued under his son Benjamin until 1821. The business produced a wide range of products, but particularly stoneware and jasper jugs and mugs featuring neo-classical, hunting or contemporary scenes. Pots with ribbed, brown-glazed necks and sharply modelled sprigs, like this example, were a speciality. Turner, of Lane End, Longton had popularised this type of design in the late 18th Century (see C.1264-1928). Adams is known to have bought sprig moulds in the Turner bankrupcy sale of 1806, so it is possible that the designs used here came from that source. Thomas Law and Co. were cutlers and general silversmiths, and provided the mounts for many such Adams products. The Law business continued under subsequent generations until 1829, then as Atkin Brothers until 1925. reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early reference term-110045 adlib-term-110045 8c30fae3-59fc-33dd-9f97-ccc44e63ae46 literal England England country Tunstall reference term-108100 adlib-term-108100 767516e5-674a-3be2-8afb-d19e31e3a7cc literal England England country Sheffield reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware Height cm 8.2 Width cm 10.3 reference media-47239 adlib-media-47239 dbe49d6f-8a75-3c67-a0e0-a27f5c9873cc jpeg aa/aa4/C_863_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583579990 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_863_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583579990 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_863_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583579990 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_863_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583579990 1 image 0 media image reference media-47240 adlib-media-47240 46704764-eac8-3006-b688-bbb0d5dad54c jpeg aa/aa4/C_863_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583577234 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_863_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583577234 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_863_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583577234 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_863_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583577234 1 image 1 media image reference media-47241 adlib-media-47241 6a900485-9472-3664-848e-de660208a421 jpeg aa/aa4/C_863_1984_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583567079 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_863_1984_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583567079 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_863_1984_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583567079 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_863_1984_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583567079 1 image 2 media image reference term-89400 adlib-term-89400 194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa jug mustard pot history note unknown before donor 1 reference object-76173 adlib-object-76173 8f576df9-bab2-37da-af3f-49ccd0be001c
