19th century cow creamer with glossy black glaze and the original lid that fits into the opening in the center of the back. It has a wide open mouth, large horns curved up that seem to come out of the ears and an oval base that has a raised flower design.  There is gilding on the horns and ears, around the mouth and eyes - although most of it has been rubbed off. The clay, which is visible on the bottom of the lid and under the base, is a purple-ish brown. In excellent condition - the only thing to report is the fact that most of the gilt accent marks are worn off. No chips or cracks or repairs.

It measures 7.25" from mouth to tail. and 5.5" tall to the top of the horns. The base is appx. 6" x 4".

“Jackfield wares originated in the town of Jackfield, in Shropshire, England, in 1740 to 1780. The original earthenware was a thin-walled gray to purplish-black clay, and covered in a glossy black lead glaze. It was also known as jet ware, blackware, or japanned ware, after the Japanese black lacquer pieces. In addition to the goods made in Jackfield, it was also produced by Thomas Whieldon in Staffordshire, Wedgwood, and others. The pieces made by Whieldon have a more reddish colored body. Shards of this pottery found in Maryland and Florida have led historians to possible early English settlements where little other documentation exists.”
