Description

War of 1812: Silver Resist Jug. An impressive silver "resist" style pitcher that was produced around 1812 in England for export to America. It measures about 8.25" tall x 9" wide at its top. There is a bit of expected wear from use to the back of the handle where the silver is a bit worn. The decorative Silver bands, top of handle and rim decorations are bright and attractive.

The left side has a large black transfer of an American eagle, a 13-Star American flag, two female allegorical "Goddess" figures, plus the names of eight states within a scroll surrounding the legend: "Peace, Plenty and Independence." The transfer design is similar to that listed and illustrated as P.10 found on page 146 of "Anglo-American Ceramics, Part I" by David Arman.

An agricultural transfer is directly in front, located below the spout with the legend: "Industry Produceth Wealth" and a "Come Box the Compass" transfer, also signed at center "T. Fletcher Shelton". A small sailing ship is shown at its center on the right side, being a bit light as made.

Condition: Overall, fresh bright and clean with no apparent repairs whatsoever.
