Antique Hand Painted Floral English Bone China Milk Jug & Sugar Bowl c.1870s

Antique English Bone China Milk Jug & Sugar Bowl. c.1870s

Hand painted over a floral transfer in pink, blue and green.

The gold gilding around the rims and milk jug handle was applied with a sponge.

Fluted and with a slight swirl and an embossed pattern the sugar bowl measure 14cm wide x 7cm tall approx. The milk or cream jug holds 8 fl.oz.

In the days when this sugar bowl was made sugar came in a 'loaf' or cone shape and had to be cut hence the large size of the sugar bowls to accomodate the irregular chunks of sugar.

The floral pattern is continued inside the rim of the sugar bowl.

In remarkable condition with no chips, cracks nor crazing.

No maker's mark as is quite common with antique china.
