18th Century Worcester First Period Sparrow Beak Jug

18th century
For Sale by TJR Trading
Description

This is an 18th Century Worcester first period Dr Wall porcelain sparrow beak jug and cover dating to circa 1770. It is transfer printed with the Fisherman and Comorant pattern onto soft paste porcelain.

It bears the cresent mark to the underside which is typical of this period.

Unfortunately the jug has a crack which has been glued. This stretches from one side of the 'beak', over the handle and to halfway along the other side. The finial has been glued to the lid after a breakage, and there is restoration to the top of the finial. The inside rim of the lid has some chips.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

First Period Worcester, often referred to as the Dr Wall period spanning circa 1751 to 1783, is defined by soft-paste porcelain decorated predominantly with underglaze blue Chinoiserie and floral patterns.

These items were crafted from soft-paste porcelain incorporating soapstone from Cornwall, which allowed the vessels to withstand thermal shock from hot liquids like tea and hot water.

Authentic examples feature a distinctive pointed, beak-shaped spout, a slightly greenish translucent body when backlit, and often bear underglaze blue open crescent or workmaster marks on the underside.

Display these historic items grouped together inside a glazed cabinet, along a fireplace mantelpiece, or styled on a sideboard alongside contemporary ceramics to contrast traditional and modern aesthetics.

Hand wash gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, hot water, or dishwashers, and handle carefully around delicate spouts and finials.
