About this piece
This Doulton Burslem jug was issued in 1898 to commemorate the death of William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898). Gladstone was an English politician who served as a minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer in several governments, and was Prime Minister on four occasions. Made of parian, a type of porcelain, and given a vellum coloured ground, it features a moulded semi-relief portrait of Gladstone on one side with a spray of laurel leaves held together with a ribbon bearing his name. On the other side is a hand tinted replica of his family's crest, coat of arms and motto. The handle is moulded to represent laurel leaves and berries, and the jug is finished off with gilding to the rim and base. It would appear that the jug was designed some time before Gladstone's death as both the Registered number (Rd. 233136) and the Doulton pattern number (C 6165) were issued in around 1894 or 1895. The Ra number (RA 1213) shows that the jug was designed in the Robert Allen studio and again this ties in with the dates above. The jug stands 183 mm (7.25 inches) high and has a diameter of 122 mm (4.75 inches). It is in excellent condition.
