Description: Antique Creamware Liverpool jug transfer-printed in black, one side depicts a sailor holding the hand of his sweetheart and is pointing to a cherub above with ships in background, below which is inscribed with the lyrics from the song "Poor Jack" by Charles Dibdin.* The reverse depicts a British Navy square rigged 3-mast frigate under full sail, port side view, multiple figures on deck, figurehead at prow, with a total of 18 cannon. The jug measures approximately 7 inches high, 7 inches long (from spout to handle) and sits on a 4.5 inch diameter base. There are a few chips to spout and a star crack on base that does not come through to interior. There is a small chip to image of ship (possibly original imperfection as it appears to be under glaze) and also a repair to glaze on front below the couple. *Charles Dibdin (1745-1814) was one of the most popular English composers of 18th century. In 1788 he began to produce his celebrated one-man "table entertainments" in which he acted as author, singer and accompanist. Most of his sea songs ( "Poor Jack" among them ) were written for these entertainments. Provenance: deaccessioned from the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco.
