Thank you for viewing. This is a hand-painted "Royal Worcester Jug" from the UK. Worcester was a kiln that employed many skilled painters, and this is a rare masterpiece. This is an antique item made in 1914, and for its age, it is in very good condition with no noticeable chips or cracks. The color of the handle has some orange tint due to aging, but this adds character to the old item and gives it a sense of depth. It is a lovely item with a hand-painted floral pattern on an ivory background. ◆Size Height 13.0cm Width 11.2cm *It seems that there are people selling this item with "exactly the same text & photos" on other sites, but this item I own is only listed on Mercari. Please be aware.* I have been collecting American and British antiques for many years, but I have decided to let them go due to downsizing my home. These items were mainly purchased from antique shops in the US or received from friends there, and I brought them back to Japan in 2018. They have been carefully stored in a cabinet in a pet-free, non-smoking home and were mainly used for display. I hope to be able to pass them on to someone who can enjoy the charm of antiques. Due to the vintage nature of the items, there are signs of aging such as scratches and paint peeling. In addition, there may be hairline cracks, white spots, unevenness, air bubbles, and color transfer due to the manufacturing process at the time. Please understand the characteristics of antiques, including the possibility of minor scratches that may not be visible in the photos, and consider purchasing. Before shipping, we will re-inspect and photograph the item, disinfect it with alcohol, and carefully pack and ship it promptly. Please note that we may use recycled materials for packing materials, and we will use "Rakuraku Mercari Bin" and "Yuyu Mercari Bin" shipping methods depending on the situation. Immediate purchase is welcome.
