Antique C19th ARTHUR BARLOW Doulton Lambeth AESTHETIC MOVEMENT Lidded Jug 1873

It bears the Doulton Lambeth impressed stamp for 1873 on the underside as well as Barlow’s incised initials. At the suggestion of his doctor, he took up wood carving, at which he proved very adept. A family friend W. Rogers, the well-known woodcarver and sculptor, became Arthur’s tutor. Arthur joined his sister. Arthur studied at the Royal Academy from 1872, while continuing his studies at Lambeth. In 1876 his health deteriorated and he remained an invalid until his death in 1876. Sadly, Arthur died young, but his exceptional talent and the rarity of his pieces make them valuable additions to a collection. The jug is about 7 1/4 inches to the top of the thumbpiece and is about 5 inches in diameter at the fattest part of the body. The jug is quite’fat’ and weighs about 718 grams. The body has a bas-relief foliate design and the lid is electroplated silver. Much of the silver has been polished off the lid and collar, and there is a small 1 centimeter hairline crack running down from the rim. A chip on the underside of the foot rim has been glazed so I would suggest this was a firing flaw. Otherwise minor wear and tear only. Please refer to photos and feel free to ask questions.
