This collection comprises several British ceramic jugs and pitchers dating from the nineteenth century, showcasing a variety of decorative techniques and materials. The first is a tall white parian-type stoneware jug decorated in high relief with a biblical scene titled Naomi And Her Daughters-in-Law. It features a waisted form and a scrolling foliate handle. The base bears a printed diamond registration mark with the Roman numeral IV in the top circle, the letters Rd in the centre, and corner codes r, H, 22, and 1, corresponding to a design registration date of 22 April 1865. The second is a green-tinted stoneware pitcher in the Oporto pattern by T. & R. Boote of Burslem. The body is decorated with relief-moulded grapevines and fruit over a stippled ground with a rustic twig-form handle. The base features an impressed diamond registration mark with a central B, the name OPORTO, and the number 24. The third is a white stoneware pitcher moulded in the form of a cob of maize, with the husks wrapping around the base and forming the handle. It carries an impressed diamond registration mark with corner codes including 7, Y, D, and H. The fourth is a black basalt cream jug attributed to the Don Pottery, Swinton. It features relief-moulded classical motifs in vertical panels and an acanthus leaf border. The base retains a paper collector’s label for the Samuel Barker period (circa 1820-1834) and a partially visible impressed Don Pottery mark. The fifth is a black-glazed earthenware cream jug, commonly known as Jackfield-type ware, featuring an engine-turned basketweave band around the middle.
