Prince Edward and Princess Alexandra, Silver Wedding Jug, 1888
1888, the year after Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, marked the Silver Wedding Anniversary of her first son, Edward, later to become King Edward VII. This was commemorated by a transfer printed jug in exactly the same form as one produced for his Mother in 1887 (see Lot 3). This shape, a flat circular body with a ridged face, the handle and spout with crisp modelling and a short spreading foot below, is unusual and the manufacturer was clearly the same. Other examples of the 1888 model are marked ‘Made in Germany’, which is not the case with this one, but is a clear pointer to the country of origin. Perhaps the manufacturers had some blanks left over and found an ingenious way to reuse them. The Prince and Princess are shown in portrait form and on the reverse is the distinctive feathered coat of arms of Edward as Prince of Wales. These jugs are much rarer than the Golden Jubilee examples and this example is in excellent condition for its age.FREE UK SHIPPING ON THIS LOT! For our foreign users, please don't worry.
