A characterful Doulton stoneware commemorative jug produced to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. Created to mark the 50th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne, this appealing piece is a tangible reminder of one of the great national celebrations of the Victorian age.
The robust salt-glazed stoneware form is typical of Doulton's highly regarded production of practical and decorative wares in the late 19th century. Commemorative ceramics such as this were made for use and display in homes across Britain, allowing the occasion to be remembered long after the festivities had passed. Today, they offer a particularly evocative connection to Victorian social history and to the enduring popularity of royal memorabilia.
With its strong, honest form and historic association, the jug would make an attractive addition to a collection of Doulton stoneware, Victorian commemorative pottery, or royal memorabilia. It also displays well as an individual decorative object, bringing warmth and period character to a kitchen, dresser, study, or country-house interior.
