An unusual large Aesthetic Movement Doulton Lambeth jug decorated with dancing cherubs by Mary Aitken and assisted by Harriette Knight dated 1883. The stoneware jug is of wide cylindrical shape with an angled shoulder and rounded raised opening with a small pinched pouring spout. The jug has a square shape thick flattened handle with a simple ribbed patterning. The body of the jug is decorated in relief with a central band of dancing winged cherubs supporting floral and fruit garlands set within a patterned border above and below and with a leaf border applied to the shoulder. Possibly symbolic of the autumn harvest the jug is hand painted in tones of blue and brown on a deep blue ground. The jug has impressed makers marks along with incised and impressed artist marks and is dated 1883.
