A rare political subject commemorative creamware jug, probably Liverpool Herculaneum, circa 1800, printed in black to one side with a head and shoulders portrait of a seated gentleman titled 'THOMAS JEFFERSON PRESIDENT of the United States of AMERICA', within a laurel wreath entwined with a ribbon inscribed with the names of the first fifteen states of America, to the reverse a section of verse within a frame of fifteen stars and entwined ribbons also inscribed with the names of the first fifteen states of America, detailed F. Morris Shelton within the frame of the verse, otherwise unmarked, height 20cm (faults), together with another creamware jug, printed in black with a hunt to one side and exotic birds to the other, height 19cm (faults). Note: the portrait on the first jug would seem to depict James Madison rather than Thomas Jefferson. The section of verse is taken from the British writer and politician Joseph Addison's poem Immortality.
