Brownfields Salt Glaze Gilded Jug Westminster 1868
We are offering this lovely William Brownfield of Cobridge salt glaze jug. It is in the Westminster pattern, which design was registered on 21st October, 1868, according to the diamond registration mark on the base, as shown. It is a raised basketweave pattern, with gilded highlights, as though the jug itself has a wicker case surrounding it. There are a limited number of these attractive jugs available on the market which are gilded, so this one is quite rare.
Brownfields were potters in Cobridge, North Staffordshire from about 1837 to the 1890s. William Brownfield began as a junior partner in the firm of Robinson Wood & Brownfield, at a pottery formerly owned by Ralph & James Clews. Eventually William Brownfield appears to be the sole owner, the first reference appearing in White’s 1851 directory where we find under china and earthenware manufacturers, Brownfield Wm. Cobridge. The factory produced a range of earthenware, stone china and added stoneware and parian to their productions. In the International Exhibition of 1862 they were awarded a medal for “printed earthenware” but no details are given of the patterns. Entries at other International exhibitions followed. The company produced a wide range of patterns, in a large variety of colours.
In 1871William Etches Brownfield entered the business and it became William Brownfield & Son. William senior died in 1873, William junior continued and his brother Edward Arthur Brownfield joined the firm. They continued to make a wide range of ceramics with occasional tour de force pieces for national and international exhibition, becoming one of the top ten Staffordshire factories. The company’s last swansong was an unusual venture fostered by Arthur Edward Brownfield, who in 1892 created a Potter’s Guild based on John Ruskin’s principles. But this “cooperative” was unfortunately destined to failure and the company was wound up in 1900.
Height: 7" - 17.75cm
Maximum width: 5 1/2" - 14cm
Diameter of base: 3" 7.65cm
Condition: Very good. There are no chips, cracks or repairs. There is a very small amount of wear to the gilding, primarily to the handle, only to be expected considering use and age.
