General Auction including Antiques & Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
This lidded earthenware storage jar features a relief-moulded anthropomorphic crying face, a motif synonymous with the kitchenware ranges produced by British potteries such as John Sadler and Sons Ltd during the mid-20th century. The vessel is globular in form, flanked by two small scrolled handles, and fitted with a domed lid topped by a large ball finial. The piece is finished in a glossy, translucent honey-brown glaze that accentuates the moulded details. No maker’s marks are visible on the body or lid in the provided photographs.
Condition report:
The glaze exhibits extensive and prominent crazing across the entire surface of both the lid and the body, which is typical for earthenware of this period and glaze type. No chips, cracks, or evidence of repair are visible.
