THE RODNEY JUG. AN HISTORIC DERBY MASK JUG brilliantly painted by Edward Withers with magnificent groups of extensive flowers, the bust of the Admiral also finely enamelled within laurels, dated in gold below "April the 12th 1782", within a gilt dentil rim, the handle and footrim also gilt, 25cm h, painted crowned D in puce, c1782-83, exhibition label inscribed in ink "Miss Ward" Exhibited: Derby, The Midland Counties Fine Arts and Industrial Exhibition 1870 (No 74 Case A). Provenance: Made for the `Loyal Club` a Derby Friendly Society (founded in 1777, dissolved in 1862 or `63). Bought from the Society for£2 in 1862 or `63 by a former member, Mr Ward by whom bequeathed to his brother, a Derby tailor (the exhibition label on the jug is inscribed in ink Miss Ward). Acquired by Mr Ratcliffe of Walton Hall near Burton on Trent, Staffordshire prior to 1876. Literature: Wallis (Alfred) and William Bemrose, The Pottery and Porcelain of Derbyshire, 1870. The present jug is illustrated in an original photograph (albumen print) pasted into Wallis` own Grangerised copy (F70V), (Derbyshire Record Office, Matlock). Wallis & Bemrose`s slim work was published to coincide with, and serve as, a guide to the Exhibition. Haslem (John), The Old Derby China Factory, 1876, pp202-4. Twitchett (John), Derby Porcelain, 1980, pp285-6. Mitchell (S), The Marks on Chelsea-Derby, 2007, pp77-99 and plt A. The re-emergence of this, the original Derby `Rodney Jug` in 2005, was a major ceramic rediscovery of the progenitor of a famous 18th c English porcelain form. The history of the jug is fully described by Haslem (Literature), but may be summarised as follows: The jug was first published by John Haslem in two letters to the Derby Mercury in 1861 and May 1866, written in reply to a correspondent. It was made for the use of the `Loyal Club`, many members of which, including Edward Withers, were painters at the Derby factory as well as jewellers and related tradesmen. The Club met monthly at several Derby inns where the jug was used for serving ale during a period of about 80 years. Haslem observes, apparently without irony, that the jug`s survival "speaks favourably of the general sobriety of the members", that when not in use it was hung from a nail in the wall and "to this may be ascribed a little scratching of the glaze..." He continues "on each removal of the Club to fresh quarters, the safety of the old Rodney" as the jug was affectionately called, was a prime consideration with the members, and it was generally intrusted to the care of Mundy Simpson, one of the painters, to whom it would almost have been death, without the benefit of clergy, had the precious relic come to grief..." The basic form, derived from a Meissen model, was made in three sizes (of which the present jug is the largest) and with various decoration. Only a very small number (judging by their rarity), perhaps less than 5, or 10 at most, are commemorative. These are similarly inscribed and boldly painted by Withers. Despite, or perhaps because of, their rarity some confusion has arisen as to which jug was the `original`, exacerbated by the long disappearance of the present jug. In particular, that once in the Bemrose Collection was mis-catalogued (T Neale & Son of Nottingham, auctioneers) when sold in 1909 (1-5 March 1909, lot 319), as is proved when the illustration in the sale catalogue is compared with the photograph in Wallis (Literature). At a London sale held by Mr Phillips in 1871, Haslem himself corrected the auctioneer pointing out that the example about to be sold was not the one "used until lately by a club of Derby china painters (see Chaffers)", to quote from the catalogue. The Bemrose sale - one of the finest collections of English porcelain, especially Derby - to be sold around 1900 was formed by Alfred Wallis` co-author. Interestingly, Bemrose`s `Rodney jug` made the highest price in the sale -£117.12.0 (Amor) which makes for an interesting comparison with the red anchor period Chelsea life-sized boar`s head tureen, that sold for£105. In the same Sale, a slightly smaller `Rodney jug` sold for£63 and is now in the Schreiber Collection (Victoria and Albert Museum). Edward Withers worked first at the Chelsea factory before moving to Derby when Duesbury took it over in 1770. He left, and returned at least once. During his absence he worked in London, Staffordshire and for a japanner in Birmingham. He died at Derby. The Admiral, George Brydges, 1st Baron Rodney (1719-1792) routed the superior Franco-Spanish fleet in a famous naval Victory off Dominica in the West Indies, on the date commemorated by the jug. He accepted the surrender of the French Admiral, the Comte de Grasse. In fine condition; no restoration
