Description:
An earthenware jug printed in blue with the Hermit pattern. Overglaze brown enameling was applied to the rim and the handle and a line was added near the base of the vessel. Also painted in overglaze brown enamel is the name "JOHN-HIGGINS" and "CLERK", and the date "1811." It is unusual to see the vocation of an individual printed or painted on commemorative pieces. Alternative names for this pattern are Bridgeless Chinoiserie, or Chinoiserie Bridgeless and Bridgeless Willow. The pattern is based on an 18th century Chinese export porcelain design. Copies of the pattern were produced on pearlware by a number of different potteries including Davenport, Geddes, Don Pottery, T & J Hollins, Minton and Stevenson.
