Shakspeare salver and jug, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Shakspeare salver and jug, 1864. Commemoration of the Tercentenary of Shakespeare's birth. 'The ale jug and salver, manufactured by Messrs. Minton, Hollis [sic], and Co., of Stoke-upon-Trent, were designed by Mr. Frederick Brett Russell, in commemoration of the tercentenary festival. The material of which they are made is gris de Flandres, enriched with blue enamel. Their form and style of ornamentation are in strict accordance with the art of the Elizabethan period. The bowl of the jug is encircled with a laureated band, with the inscriptions "Will. Shakspeare, born 1564," on one side, and "Tercentenary, 1864," on the other, but connected in the centre by a cartouche, which contains a medallion of the poet. The neck of the jug is jewelled, as is the handle, at the thumbpiece of which there is a smaller cartouche, with the monogram "V. R." The remaining ornamentation of the jug consists chiefly of a conventional treatment of scallop-shells. The salver bears in its centre a medallion of Shakspeare inclosed in a border of laurel, and on its rim, between four escutcheons, which are inscribed with "E. R.," "W. R.," "V. R.," and the arms of Shakspeare, we read that sentence of Ben Jonson, "He was not of an age, but for all time."' From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
A testament to the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare, this exquisite print captures a stunning salver and jug created in commemoration of his tercentenary birth anniversary in 1564. The intricate design, manufactured by Messrs. Minton, Hollis & Co., features gris de Flandres enriched with blue enamel and ornate details reminiscent of the Elizabethan era.
The ale jug is adorned with a laureated band inscribed with Shakespeare's name on one side and "Tercentenary 1864" on the other, surrounded by a cartouche containing his medallion. The neck and handle are embellished with jewels, while scallop-shell motifs add to the overall elegance.
The accompanying salver bears a central medallion of Shakespeare encircled by laurel leaves, accompanied by an inscription from Ben Jonson's tribute: "He was not of an age, but for all time." This beautiful piece is a poignant reminder of the Bard's timeless impact on literature and art. (Heritage Images)
