Attributed to Minton pottery in Staffordshire, England, a scarce and unusual sized set of majolica glazed pitchers in the Palissy style, circa 1870s.

The Aesthetic Period pitchers are molded with a raised nut vine pattern with leaves in light and dark green, and closed buds. The vine handle is 'held' in place with green shoots, the tight buds are glazed in cream encased in light spring green leaves. The body is finished in an iridescent brown, the interior in a beautiful turquoise. A turquoise glazed underside.

This mold is extremely difficult to find.

The larger jug is impressed with the number two, possibly referring to size, as this is the middle size of what would have been a set of three graduated pitchers attributed to Minton. The smaller jug is unmarked.

The larger jug: 7 in. from handle to spout x 6 in. W x 5 in. H
The smaller jug: 6.25 in. from handle to spout x 5 in. W x 4.25 in. H
