The Blue Flower Pottery
I have started this page in the hope of identifying the pottery that made the items below with distinctive blue flowers in the 1820s. The could be Tyneside, Yorkshire or even Scottish. If you have any information or similar examples, please get in touch via the link on the foot of this page.
The jug below has a wheat ear decoration to the collar very similar to items made by Robert Maling. Maling also decorated items with blue flowers. However, the items on this page are sufficiently different to assume that they were made by a different pottery. For instance, on Maling items from the 1820s, the spout is decorated with 3 pink-lustre stripes.
The decoration on this jug is more finely decorated than the one above, and much closer to that of Robert Maling.
The top row below shows three details from Robert Maling jugs. The second row has details from the two jugs above.
A jug below with a different Odd Fellows transfer, but similar flower decoration.
An unusual Order of Foresters transfer with very similar enamel decoration to the jug above.
