Newlyn Copper Hot Water Jug with Cormorant and John Dory Decoration, c.1905

For sale is an exceptionally attractive Newlyn copper hot water jug, dating to around 1905. Of tapered square form, the jug is beautifully decorated on one side with a cormorant standing on a rock, a fish clasped in its bill, and on the front with a stylised John Dory fish.

The jug remains in excellent condition, retaining its original split cane wickerwork around the strap handle, which is also in superb order. The base is clearly stamped Newlyn.

Dimensions: approximately 20.5 cm in height and 14 cm across from the tip of the spout to the edge of the handle.

An outstanding example of Newlyn copper from the Arts and Crafts period — both decorative and highly collectible.

FAQs

The Newlyn Industrial Class was established in Cornwall in the late 19th century as part of the Arts and Crafts movement, teaching metalworking skills to local fishermen to provide alternative income.

Pieces were typically hand-hammered from sheet copper using the repousse technique, where designs were pushed out from the reverse side to create raised reliefs, often featuring marine motifs.

Authentic pieces frequently bear the impressed mark of Newlyn or initials of specific craftsmen, alongside distinct hand-beaten textures and coastal or marine iconography.

This piece can be displayed on a sideboard or mantelpiece to introduce warm metallic tones and historical texture to contemporary or transitional spaces.

Antique copper should be dusted gently with a soft cloth, avoiding aggressive commercial polishes that strip historical patina and oxidisation.
