Sir Edmund Elton English Sunflower Studio Pottery Jug, Circa 1890

19th century
Description

This rare art pottery jug was made at the sunflower pottery studio at Clevedon Court, Somerset, England circa 1890.

He produced these exotic wares in very small numbers as individual works of art which were then retailed at high class shops and stores in England and America at exclusively high prices. This pleasing and rare example is a stylised jug which has a separate short spout. The body has a tapering bulbous form with a narrow neck which flares into a shaped open top for filling with a separate spout and handle. The thick marbleized glaze has a crackle finish in a variety of blended colours including blue, green, brown and orange. This interesting jug is further decorated with a trailing stem of flowers and leaves and on its underside, it is fully signed by the aristocratic potter Elton.

Height 15.5cm x width 12cm x depth 10cm

Elton Ware is a distinctive style of English Arts and Crafts pottery produced by Sir Edmund Elton at Clevedon, Somerset, between 1879 and 1920. It is recognized for its experimental glazes, metallic sheens, and raised floral slip decoration.

Craftsmen used locally sourced earthenware clay, shaping vessels on a potters wheel before applying raised slip or barbotine decoration. The items were finished with variegated or crackle glazes applied in layers before kiln firing.

Authentic Elton Ware pieces typically feature a painted or incised Elton signature or monogram on the base. They display rich, irregular glazed surfaces, raised botanical motifs, and slightly asymmetrical hand-thrown forms.

A decorative ceramic jug works well as a focal point on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or open bookshelf. Its rich tones and artisanal texture complement both dark wood furniture and modern minimalist surfaces.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid immersing the vessel in water or using chemical cleaners, as moisture can penetrate glaze crazing and compromise the earthenware body.
