EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Elizabeth I silver-gilt mounted Iznik jug from 1586. The jug, created by English School in the 16th century, stands at a height of 26 cm and is part of a private collection. Its pear-shaped pottery body is adorned with alternating scrolling bottle-green and white bands, featuring central black and dark blue stripes respectively. A band of double circles decorates the upper border, adding to its intricate design. The flat cover of the jug is cut from a different piece of pottery and painted with a vibrant red and green flowerhead surrounded by radiating blue and red panels. The silver-gilt spreading foot mount boasts an elegant egg-and-dart ornament with scalloped edges. The body is enclosed by reeded moulded scalloped neck mounts as well as vertical straps that add further embellishment. The rim mount features engraved birds perched within scrolling foliage, while the handle is partly enclosed by a silver-gilt strap surmounted by a box mount adorned with applied foliage borders and stylized lions masks. Atop it all sits a winged male figure thumbpiece, completing this remarkable work of art. Photographed beautifully by eChristies Images, this image captures every intricate detail of this historic masterpiece. It serves as both an artistic inspiration and testament to the craftsmanship during Elizabethan times.
