Antique Ridgway Pitcher/Jug, Vintner & Wine Relief Pattern, C 1835:
$340.00

This is a finely molded pitcher showing a man on one side harvesting grapes from manicured grape vines and on the other side a customer sampling wine served from a similarly shaped jug by a woman with grape vines decorating the rim. The subject matter is a rare find, focusing on the worker rather than a Bacchus or bacchanalian type depiction of wine consumption. Details are crisp and well executed. No makers mark to bottom (other than a single etched number) but form was used by Ridgway in both glazed and unglazed versions.

Pitcher measures approximately 6.75 inches high, a length of 7.5 (from handle to spout) and sits on a 4.75 inch base. It weighs approximately 1.13 lb.

Early stoneware pitchers served a specific function. The strong stoneware allowed them to receive hot liquid as well as being able to safely store and pour wine, ale, milk and cream. The invention of a high gloss smear glaze that was applied to the interior allowed for no staining or seepage into the glaze.
