A truly wonderful London saltglazed stoneware jug / bottle of the Charles II period with a stunningly beautiful, dark, reddish-brown 'tiger glaze' on the top half and an oat-colored engobe or 'slip' beneath; of fantastic elegant pear-shaped form with a shortish foot and carefully turned neck with a double cordon for a leather cover; Fulham Pottery, John Dwight, circa 1685.Drawings of similar bottles excavated at Dwight's factory are described in Chris Green's superb monograph on John Dwight the potter on page 118 and illustrated in fig. 204 on page120. This is a superb large example measuring 8 7/8 inches in height.The potting of the bottle is sublime , the proportions perfect with a slender bulbous body standing on a shortish foot and supporting a beautifully turned neck with a double cordon. This unusual feature can be seen in the example illustrated by Green on page 120, figure 204. The superb handle is extruded and has a neat depression at the base where it was applied to the main body of the bottle. The handle form and the depression for attaching it are classic Fulham features (see Green, passim).The condition, for such an early example, is a bsolutely outstanding . There are a couple of firing imperfections and some extremely minor wear on the extreme edge of the foot which you can see by studying the photos we have provided. read more
