The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

During the 19th century, large porcelain water jugs were functional household items, often paired with matching washbasins on bedroom washstands prior to the widespread introduction of modern indoor plumbing.

These pieces were typically formed from white porcelain clay using slip-casting or press-moulding techniques, fired at high temperatures, and subsequently decorated with glazed cobalt enamels and hand-applied gilt accents.

Authentic 1870s porcelain jugs usually feature hand-finished gilding with subtle surface wear, slight moulding irregularities, an unglazed foot ring, and occasionally impressed or painted potter marks on the base.

A large ceramic water jug serves as an effective decorative vessel on a sideboard, console table, or mantle piece, frequently repurposed to display seasonal floral arrangements or greenery.

Gilded porcelain requires gentle hand washing using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive cloths, chemical cleaners, or dishwashers that strip delicate gold gilding over time.
