Antique English 1815-1830 white stoneware milk pitcher sprigged with very uncommon classical blue figures engaged in country pursuits. Appears to be unmarked. A smaller version of the same jug is pictured and described on page 109 of the book "An Illustrated Guide to British Jugs" which also notes that few examples have been recorded. In the style of Wedgwood jasperware though probably by Turner or Adams. Measures approx. 5" tall x 4 3/4" over handle and spout. Very good condition, some chipping to base rim. No cracks or repairs. Provenance: From the collection of the late MASSIMO COMOLI, celebrated opera set designer and architect, best known for working with the late Gianni Versace on the redesign of the iconic Villa Casa Casuarina in Miami Beach (formerly known as the Versace Mansion).
