JERSEY – ENGLAND, 19TH CENTURY A set of eight pieces of English earthenware known as “Jersey,” featuring a copper-colored metallic luster, comprising five pitchers of various sizes, two bowls on pedestals, and a small cylindrical cup with a handle. The pitchers, in baluster or flared shapes, feature dynamic spouts and elegantly scalloped handles. Polychrome decoration on a copper-glazed background, combining bands of cobalt blue and light blue with floral motifs, foliage, and rural scenes in relief, enhanced with color and gilding. The two bowls on pedestals are adorned with polychrome flowers on a blue background. 19th-century English work, likely from Staffordshire, circa 1840–1880. Signs of wear on the metallic luster, scuffs, and discoloration on the gilding. Chipping and possible cracks.
