KNIVES KNIVES KNIVES neatly kept SHARPENERS. i had to get 1 knife. sharp + nice. 1 sharper like the blue one, but used to death. also grabbed a pink polka dot towel. nothing else til looked in the living/finning area. mid century sideboards not danish enough.

ANTIQUE c 1760 JACKFIELD POTTERY JUG decorate BLACK GLAZED baluster REDWARE- $294
Intrigued by a quote I found in an old book written in 1904 by A. H. Church, I had no choice but to spend the next two days researching what he said. After all, Mr. Church was “the man” at the Victoria & Albert Museum when it came to European ceramics.
With an image of a jug nearly identical to the one presented here, he wrote: “The only Salopean earthenware that claims notice here is the believed to have been made at Jackfield . . . about 1760-1775.”
