EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite stoneware jar, adorned with intricate Cunard ceramics, is a rare and captivating piece of maritime history. The jar, created in the early 20th century, is believed to be related to the MV Molliette, a groundbreaking vessel in the annals of transportation. The MV Molliette holds a unique place in history as Britain's first concrete ship, a revolutionary design that aimed to make ships more resilient and cost-effective. Launched in 1927, the MV Molliette was a 3,300-ton cargo vessel that served in the merchant fleet until its unfortunate sinking in 1933. This stoneware jar, with its intricate Cunard ceramic design, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the sea and the ships that ply its waters. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors on the jar reflect the artistic craftsmanship of the era, while the subtle nod to the MV Molliette adds a layer of historical significance. The jar, measuring approximately 12 inches in height, is a rare find for collectors of Cunard ceramics and maritime ephemera. Its provenance is not definitively linked to the MV Molliette, but the connection is a compelling one, adding to the allure of this beautiful and intriguing piece. This ceramic jar, with its rich history and artistic merit, is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast of transportation history, Cunard ceramics, or simply those who appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the past. This image, brought to you by Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring allure of the sea and the ships that sail upon it.
