Description: A scarce English Majolica jug/pitcher in the Dogwood mold by Joseph Holdcroft, circa 1875.A rustic pitcher having a raised branching Dogwood decoration on a turquoise bark-like ground, with a branch form handle. Showing both open white blossoms with yellow centers, and closed buds. Crisp painting in register, and a gorgeous pink interior. Marked: impressed J. Holdcroft underfoot also printed with the number 13 appears to have a roman numeral II stamped into the bottom. Measuring 6. in. L x 3.25 in. W x 6.5 in. H. Crack carries throughout pitcher with chip on rim. I purchased this pitcher in this condition and they have appeared to have been repaired. Not sure if repair is from factory or later. Joseph Holdcroft was employed by Minton for some eighteen years where he became proficient in the manufacture of Majolica. After leaving Minton, Holdcroft established the Sunderland Pottery at Daisy Bank, Longton in 1870. Although much of the output was Majolica, the firm also produced Parian, silver luster and other household earthenwares which were marketed in the Americas and Australia. Joseph Holdcroft died in 1904 and the business was then managed by his son Thomas. In 1906, the firm was incorporated as Holdcroft Ltd. and operated through the 1920s.Smoke free home!
