This is a fine example of early redware pottery, found in West Virginia and made in that area circa 1850. The shape of this beehive jug starts out as ovoid below the thick collar of the mouth, then follows a straight line down to the base. This puts the date some decades later than the true ovoid jug; potters began using the beehive shape because it was easier to pack side by side for transporting and quicker to make. The red clay body is covered by a reddish brown slip which did not cover a small area at the base (photograph #2) and as usual was not used on the bottom. The thick strap handle, pulled rather than applied, was fixed to the body of the jug with three fingers that left their curved marks. This jug is in very good vintage condition, with a few glaze flakes and drips, clay impurities and nicks on the bottom but no cracks or chips. The cleft in the clay at the base, shown in photograph #3, was made during the potting. There are the typical tiny lumps and bumps of clay that were not smoothed out; these redware pieces were made as quickly as possible and not given the attention that "fancy" wares received. The jug stands 10 inches tall, has a 7 inch diameter base and weighs 5 1/2 pounds. It's a handsome piece of mid-nineteenth century redware. PYH 4167   « Less

Near the end of the 1800’s, pewterware, like other wares such as pottery, changed from strictly utilitarian to also being decorative. In 1875 Arthur Lasenby Liberty founded the Liberty of London store, with the aim of selling well-designed, quality items. In 1901, Liberty bought a majority share in the metalworking firm of W.H. Haseler in Birmingham. Haseler’s started producing beautiful pewter for Liberty the following year and continued until the 1930’s. The line was called Tudric and used Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Celtic Revival designs. The name Tudric may be a possible reference to Tewdrig, a 6th century Welsh saint, since the so-called Celtic motifs are actually of Welsh origin. All four pieces of the tea set have finely hand hammered surfaces. They have the full maker’s punchmark on each bottom which is clear and visible. All four marks are identical, which indicates a matched set, and they read vertically: 6 “TUDRIC” ENGLISH PEWTER LIBERTY & CO 01075 The set consists of a teapot, which is marked 1 ½ pints on the bottom and has a domed hinged lid with an ebonized wood knob; the graceful handle is also ebonized wood. There is also a coffee pot, marked 1 pint on the bottom, with the same handle and knob. The other two pieces are a cream jug and a double handled open sugar bowl. The teapot measures 5 inches tall and 9 inches from handle to spout. The coffee pot stands a bit over 6 inches tall and measures 5 ½ inches spout to handle. The creamer and sugar are both 2 1/2 inches tall and about 5 inches across. The set is in wonderful condition, with a small dent on the sugar bowl and one on the coffeepot, shown in photo #4, which of course can be turned away for display. At some point in its long life, the teapot has gotten a bit lower on the spout side, but it’s not readily apparent. The pieces are lightly polished, as the hand hammered Tudric pewter was intended to be. This tea set is a wonderful find for the collector of pewter and/or Arts and Crafts era decorative items.
