What Clay can Say

The Vintage

In 1844, the Art Union featured an article titled “The Vintage Jug” which discussed the excellence in craftsmanship and design by Copeland & Garrett. Here is an excerpt from that article:

It is impossible to speak too highly of the talent displayed
in the modeling of the figures: they are in strong relief, and
are so skilfully placed upon the sides of the jug, that each
retains its full importance; while no violent projections occur
to interfere with the general contour of the vessel.[1]
