Georgian Hand-painted Bristol Blue Cream Jug & Sugar Bowl

19th century
Description

This is a Georgian, mouth-blown, hand-painted, Bristol Blue glass cream jug and sugar bowl dating from the turn of the 18th/19th centuries, c1800.

The jug and bowl are in excellent condition for their age. This means of course that they show age related wear and tear to the rims of the bases consistent with some 200 years of use. They have rough pontil marks on the bases.

The jug is of baluster form in the Bristol blue colourway, and measures 6.6 cm (2.6 inches) by 7 cm (2.8 inches) in diameter at the pouring rim. The jug has a gilded line under the rim and has been painted with a sprig of flowers in green, ochre and yellow enamel. The jug ends in a foot which measures 6.7 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter. The jug is 10.7 cm (4.2 inches) in height. The handle was first attached to the top of the jug and then finally attached near the base, finished off with a curlicue. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration. It weighs 215 g. (~ 8 oz.). The gilding and enamel is rubbed in places.

The bowl is of cup form in the Bristol blue colourway and measures 11 cm (4.4 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is decorated in the same manner as the cream jug. The bowl sits on a domed and folded foot which measures 7.7 cm (3 inches) in diameter. The bowl is 11 cm (4.4 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration. It weighs 335 g. (~ 12 oz.). The gilding and enamel is rubbed in places.

FAQs

Bristol blue glass is a distinctive type of cobalt glass produced predominantly in Bristol, England, from the late 18th century onwards, gaining significant popularity during the Georgian period for refined dining services.

Georgian enamelled glass was created by adding cobalt oxide to molten glass to achieve a deep blue hue, before being hand-painted with coloured vitreous enamels and fired to fuse the decoration onto the surface.

Authentic Georgian pieces typically exhibit pontil marks on the base where the glassmaker rod was detached, slight hand-blown asymmetry, base wear consistent with age, and hand-applied enamelling.

Displaying cobalt blue glass on open shelving, a sideboard, or a window sill allows natural light to highlight the rich colour saturation and hand-painted surface details.

Glassware with delicate enamel decoration should be washed gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges.
