Vintage GREIGIAU Copper Luster Miniature Creamer Jug Blue Floral Cardiff Wales

Collectible Vintage GREIGIAU Pottery Miniature Creamer Jug This is an exceptional example of Welsh lusterware! This charming miniature creamer jug is authenticated by the clear stamp on its unglazed terracotta base: "GREIGIAU CARDIFF WALES". Greigiau Pottery was a known maker in Wales, and pieces like this are sought after by collectors of Welsh studio pottery and copper luster items. The jug features a brilliant, highly reflective copper luster glaze that envelops the piece, giving it a rich, metallic bronze appearance. The interior of the jug is finished with a vibrant cobalt blue glaze, which provides a beautiful contrast and frames the spout nicely. A distinctive cobalt blue band wraps around the center of the bulbous body. This band is decorated with an intricate, repeating floral or foliage motif over-painted with a metallic-like luster finish. The combination of the metallic luster and the vibrant blue is classic and highly decorative. Maker: Clearly marked on the base as GREIGIAU CARDIFF WALES. Color & Finish: Highly glossy, mirror-like copper luster; vibrant cobalt blue band and interior glaze. Pattern: Hand-painted or stenciled floral/foliage motif in the blue band.
