Description:
An earthenware jug printed in blue underglaze with the Boy with a Whip pattern that has been renamed Boy with Fishing Pole . A picture medallion type border was printed on the exterior rim with simple landscape scenes taken from the central pattern and a floral border was used on the interior rim. Morton Nance illustrates this pattern on both a plate and a small jug in Nance,1942, plate XLVIII, A and B, and on p. 102 in his description of the pattern he attributes them both to the firm of Dillwyn & Co.  Nance refers to the two figures in the pattern as “one holding an umbrella and the other a whip.” Later, the name for this pattern became known as “Boy with Whip”, however, the whip is actually a fishing pole and, as such, an alternate name is assigned to it here as “Boy with Fishing Pole”.
Condition: Very Good. Minor rubbing of the enameling on the rim.
