A previously unrecorded creamware satirical jug late 18th century

£200 - £300 £1,100

A previously unrecorded creamware satirical jug late 18th century, printed and hand-coloured with a bawdy scene of figures including a priest, a chimney sweep, a barber and an old woman with her behind exposed, titled 'The Devil of a Job - Satan at the bottom of all Mischief', the rim painted with shaped green panels simulating shagreen, and simple floral sprays, restored, 17.2cm.

It has sadly not been possible to find the source of this rather risqué print, nor any other pieces bearing the same subject.
