This is a Georgian, mouth-blown, wrythen-moulded, Sunderland Blue glass cream jug and sugar bowl dating from the turn of the 18th/19th centuries, c1800.
The jug and bowl are in excellent condition for their age. This means of course that they show age related wear and tear to the rims of the bases consistent with some 200 years of use. They have rough pontil marks on the bases.
The jug is of baluster form in the Sunderland blue colourway, and measures 5.8 cm (2.3 inches) by 5.3 cm (2.1 inches) in diameter at the turned inward pouring rim. The jug is lightly wrythen-moulded. The jug ends in a base which measures 4.5 cm (1.8 inches) in diameter. The jug is 9.8 cm (3.9 inches) in height. The handle was first attached to the top of the jug and then finally attached near the base, finished off with a curlicue. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration. It weighs 65 g. (~ 2 oz.). There are a couple of tiny inclusions and unburst bubbles in the metal of the jug dating from manufacture.
