Jug of The Month - March


A Pountney Bristol Kitchenware jug from the 1950s. Lovely big round green belly.


It looks good with some other green jugs...



Great advertising campaign for the range here...


Some storage jars in the same range featured on the recent BBC Hattie Jacques drama...


It's from collector Nigel Collins who lives ten minutes from me in a bungalow full of ceramics. The following pics are just his Bristol Kitchenware pieces. There are also rooms full of Long Line, drawers and dressers full of Midwinter and Ridgeway, plus a bathroom full of Midwinter casserole dishes and gravy boats. I spent three hours there recently, taking photographs and asking questions - thankyou Nigel!










This work is in the museum at The House of Marbles in Bovey Tracey. Familiar colour scheme...
