A cheerful bunch of nasturtiums would have been perfectly respectable decoration for a 1930s jug. Arthur Wood added a spider's web.

Picked out in platinum lustre against the warm cream body, the web turns Pattern 3123 from a conventional floral into something witty and faintly peculiar. Above it, orange-red flowers and green leaves are painted over peach lustre, giving the decoration its warmth and depth.

Most tellingly, there is no pouring lip. Arthur Wood borrowed the handle and familiar outline of a jug but turned it into something closer to a vase. This is an uncommon shape, the exaggerated mouth, narrow waist and rounded body make much more sense when seen as decoration rather than practical tableware. At 22.5 cm high, it was clearly intended to be noticed.

That blurring of household object and ornament belongs firmly to British ceramics between the wars, when Staffordshire potteries were bringing stronger colours, metallic lustres and more adventurous shapes into the home. This is the domestic face of interwar design: a familiar garden flower, a flash of platinum and an everyday object made enjoyably strange.

Dimensions: Approximately 22.5 cm high (9 inches).

Condition: Good vintage condition, with no chips. There is rubbing to the platinum-lustre decoration, two old internal hairline cracks and crazing, please see photographs. The painted colours and peach lustre remain strong.

Worldwide Shipping: Worldwide shipping is available. The jug/vase will be carefully wrapped in several layers of protective material, cushioned throughout and securely packed in a strong double-walled box for safe delivery.

Collector's Note: Arthur Wood & Son manufactured earthenware at the Bradwell Works in Longport, Stoke-on-Trent, from around 1928. The green “Quality Arthur Wood England” mark was introduced around 1934, helping to date this jug vase to the mid-1930s. The painted Pattern 3123 number also appears on the base.
