Royal Worcester “Tusk Ice Jug” with Hand Painted Flowers – dated 1886

This Royal Worcester “Tusk Ice Jug” is shaped like a tusk with a round tapering body that slightly curves towards the spout.  The shape number on the bottom #1116 refers to a “Tusk Ice Jug” in the Royal Worcester Catalogue.  It comes in varying sizes.  This one is large – measuring just under 12 inches tall.

The hand painted decoration goes around the entire jug in tones of rust red, olive green and steel blue coloured flowers – another grouping with the same red & green but with Violet coloured flowers and even another grouping with Pink coloured flowers.  Delicate gold line work over the colourful florals & foliage  elegantly highlights them all. The handle is reminiscent of an antler.

Measures:  11 3/8 inches tall x 8 1/4 inches wide from handle to spout.

Marked: Standard Royal Worcester printed mark with a Crescent in the centre (formerly a C), year letter X for the year 1886. Registration No. 37112, 1116 for the tusk shape.

Condition: There is a slight chip to the underside of the spout.  (price is reflected)
