Antique English Porcelain Dr Syntax Monogrammed Jug C1830
|
| Dateline: Circa 1830 |
Item# 34499 |
A remarkable and stunning English porcelain jug (possibly New Hall or Daniel?), moulded in relief with acanthus leaf and scrolls, these richly gilded to the details. To either side of the neck are painted fine flower groups inside gilded cartouches. The jug is superbly hand painted to each side with a scene from the Tours of Dr Syntax. The fore shows Dr Syntax Pursued by a Bull, the Doctor forced by the presence of a large bull to flee to the security of a tree, his papers scattered to the wind, as the rest of the herd give every impression of being vastly amused by the comical spectacle. The reverse illustrates Dr Syntax sells Grizzle (his horse). The jug is monogrammed in gilt A B to either side of the spout and is indistinctly signed GIL (?). With this character, Rowlandson can lay claim to creating the first regular cartoon character. Rowlandson's work had a facility and nervous vitality that set it apart from his imitators - this quality triumphantly recreated here in ceramic.
Condition: Very Good. Very good indeed: no chips or cracks. Good restoration to end of spout with regilding to leaf vein below spout. A few light scratches to Dr Syntax's jacket in the scene where he is in the tree.
Dimensions: 9" (23cm) high x 8" (20cm) across handle.
