On offer is an exceptionally rare and highly collectible Welsh Llanelli copper lustre jug, dating to circa 1850. This beautiful 19th-century jug is a fine example of the lustreware tradition perfected in Llanelli, South Wales, and is notable for its rich copper glaze and detailed transfer scenes.

One side of the jug features a charming chinoiserie scene, depicting an elegantly dressed figure holding a parasol amidst a delicate garden landscape, while the other side showcases a traditional clock face scene. The jug’s body is richly embellished with ornate moulded details, highlighted by the shimmering reflective copper glaze, which is characteristic of Llanelli pottery from this period.

The jug stands approximately 7.5 inches tall and remains in good antique condition, with only minor wear consistent with its age and use—no chips or cracks.
