Description
Sweeping moulded scrolls and curved panels wrap around the rounded body of this Lucia Ware jug. Brown streaks and lighter green highlights collect along the raised decoration, rim and large loop handle. A narrowed neck leads to the broad pouring lip above the green-glazed interior.
Lucia Ware is the supplied maker identification for this South African ceramic piece, associated with Boksburg East Potteries. The supplied dating places it broadly in the mid 20th century, around 1945 and the 1950s, rather than establishing an exact year of manufacture. The supplied identification records Lucia Ware model 1372. The photographed base impression is faint, so the model number remains identified from the supplied information rather than claimed as a clear photographic reading. Related forms and makers appear in the South African Ceramics collection.
