Small vintage Mason's Blue Mandalay jug. Height: Approximately 8.5cm Images 7-9 are size comparison images; this listing is for the small jug. Rare, unused condition. Mason's is a historic British pottery manufacturer founded in London in 1796. This is Blue Mandalay, and it is also famous as tableware that appears in the "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" series. It was also used in Downton Abbey in recent years. The Chinoiserie design is very lovely. It's thick and plump. It imitates Imari ware and Chinese porcelain, which were popular in Europe in the late 17th century, but it is Mason's unique pottery, which is beautiful, hard, and durable, and seems to have been widely used for everyday use. Blue Mandalay was produced for a long time until it was merged with Wedgwood, so there are many beautiful items in good condition without crazing, even in pottery. Perhaps that's why it was used in Downton Abbey. Prices vary, and beautiful old items are expensive, but unlike porcelain, pottery develops crazing as it ages. There are many Blue Mandalay items with crazing. Also, because it is hand-painted, old items often have uneven colors, and the gold paint is often faded or worn. Although it is said in the industry that crazing in pottery is not included in the evaluation, it is better not to have crazing. Even if it is old, the price will go down if the condition is bad, and even recent items are expensive if they are in unused condition. For your reference. ★Condition★ Unused level with no cracks, chips, crazing, and in excellent condition. *There are individual differences in subjectivity, so please refrain from purchasing if you are too sensitive.
