BELLE, RARE, TRÈS GRANDE 19ème. PICHET TOUR MAJOLIQUE MINTON CENTURY - ventes exceptionnelles 1870

This really is a superb, and I would think quite rare and very large Minton Majolica ‘Tower Jug' made in 1870 (see cypher mark) at the Minton Factory Stoke-on-Trent. In a large lidded cylindrical form, it is depicted in the Medievalist taste with superb relief images of dancing figures framed against a stone wall, while below and above are entwined vines joined by a fine plaited vine handle. Meanwhile, above is it's pewter mounted hinged, shell type, lid surmounted by a superb harlequin mask finial. The base has the impressed marks, model number, and other marks.

It measures 13 3/8" (34cm) H x 7 1/2" (19cm) W (lip to handle) approx and is in quite good condition,, however it does have a problem. It has a hairline crack to the lid which is a bit difficult to see on top , although Ive taken a photo of the underneath which illustrates it better, other than that, there is no other defect to report - see photographs and details.

This is a lovely, rare, early period piece Minton Majolica which is in good condition which presents well that with a low start price, Im sure, will have great appeal to all collectors.
