Rockingham Porcelain Jug with Floral Panels and Gilding, England, C.1830

19th century
Description

Porcelain jug produced by the Rockingham Ceramic Factory in Swinton, Yorkshire, circa 1830. The four-lobed body is molded with scrollwork in relief and finished with yellow and gold enamel over a soft grey glaze showing fine craquelure. The scalloped neck is painted with floral sprays on both sides, and the foliate handle is gilded. The underside bears the painted model number "8376" in puce enamel, consistent with Rockingham's factory system. The jug is made of hard-paste porcelain. A jug of the same model is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (C.93-1951), where it occupies a prominent place in the permanent collection of 19th-century English ceramics. This piece is of significant collector interest due to its documented model, refined gilding, and excellent state of preservation.

Condition: excellent. Gilding and enamel are intact. No damage or restoration.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Produced in Swinton, Yorkshire, during the early 19th century, Rockingham porcelain is known for its soft-paste bone china body, Rococo-inspired forms, gilding, and hand-painted botanical motifs.

These jugs were cast or hand-moulded from bone china, fired at high temperatures, glazed, and subsequently decorated with overglaze enamel colours and hand-applied mercury gilding before a final low-temperature firing.

Authentic pieces frequently display Rococo scrolling handles, raised acanthus moulding, naturalistic floral painting, and occasionally a printed griffin factory mark in red or purple on the underside.

A decorative porcelain jug can be displayed as a standalone object on a sideboard, arranged on a mantelpiece alongside contemporary glassware, or utilized as a flower vase for botanical arrangements.

Gilded porcelain should be washed by hand using warm water and mild liquid soap with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive sponges, chemical polishes, or dishwasher cleaning to prevent wear to the gilding.
