A tin-glazed earthenware jug by John Pearson, decorated with stylised flowers and scrolling foliage in blue, turquoise and black on a white ground. The shouldered form and restrained palette reflect Pearson's distinctive decorative style, while the painted JP monogram to the base confirms the work as an authentic example from his pottery.
John Pearson (1859–1930) was an important figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. After working closely with William De Morgan, he established his own pottery, developing a distinctive body of work informed by medieval craftsmanship and Islamic ceramic traditions. His ceramics are recognised for their bold forms, finely painted decoration and accomplished tin-glazed surfaces.
