Description: Antique Gaudy Welsh Pitcher Jug Cobalt Blue Drip Glaze Pink Lusterware Floret Lovely little jug in good condition - a hairline along spout and discoloration on handle, base and spout. We have well water and it can discolor our dishes, that's what this looks like to me, years of well water use. Measurements and condition shown in pictures. I believe this pattern is known as "Floret". Beautiful luster and drip glaze. "Gaudy Welsh is a generic term used to describe a specific group of domestic/household wares manufactured in England between 1820 and 1860 and sold in Wales and exported to regional American markets with large Welsh populations. It is one of several pottery types that were part of the transition between hand-crafted and mass-produced ceramics. Gaudy Welsh was not produced in Wales. The motif appears to have originated with Llanelly and Swansea. Newcastle and Sunderland firms also made Gaudy Welsh. The majority of the ware produced by ceramic manufacturers such as Allertons and Copeland in England’s Staffordshire District. Gaudy Welsh patterns are painted in cobalt blue and russet (brownish red) under the glaze. When a pink luster is applied over the glazed cobalt, a copper like color appears. Dark and light green, orange, pink, and yellow also were used. Pieces are often gilded in gold or silver luster. Many of the decorative motifs have a strong “Imari” appearance. A variety of ceramic bodies were used—bone china, creamware, and ironstone.Although most manufacturers stopped producing Gaudy Welsh by the 1860s, some continued production into the early 20th century." - WorthPoint
