Before the days of modern packaging, the only vessel available for fetching, storing or serving liquids was the simple jug. Jugs were the staple product of many pottery firms and, since most households would need several, the potential market was vast and there was great competition among the manufacturers. Decorative jugs sold best and despite the fact that jugs were essentially utilitarian, a vast number of attractive designs emerged. Although jugs from the eighteenth century are scarce, those from the nineteenth century have survived in large numbers and can fill many a collection. This book reveals the many and varied techniques of decorating jugs throughout the ages, with special emphasis on the sprigged, printed and moulded wares that have survived in such quantity. An ideal introduction to the history and design of jugs.

Designed as a comprehensively cross-referenced companion to the original Dictionary, this second volume includes over 1,000 new or extended entries. These cover many previously unrecorded patterns, recent attributions, newly discovered design sources and a significant number of additional manufacturers and retailers. Some of the more interesting wares after the original deadline of 1880 have also been included. The social history behind the potters' choice of subject is of considerable interest and, wherever possible, entries include details of the people or events which inspired unidentified patterns or their titles. One new feature is an Appendix illustrating unidentified patterns, important marked examples of which may yet be unearthed by a diligent collector. Interest in these wares has increased dramatically in recent years and the enthusiasm shown for blue and white continues to grow. Volume two of The Dictionary is a sound buy for both passionate and dilettante admirers of 'Blue'. ''

Jugs were a staple product for the potters, particularly from the later 18th century onwards, and since most households would need several, the potential market was vast. The more decorative jugs sold much more readily, and despite the fact that they were utilitarian by nature, many attractive jugs were produced. They have survived in large numbers, and since they are easy to display, either singly or as a collection, they are popular with virtually all collectors. In this illustrated guide the author has considered jugs in terms of the techniques used for their decoration, and in this way he has grouped them within appropriate chapters. With over 800 illustrations, this fascinating book will provide an invaluable reference for all collectors, dealers and enthusiasts.
