Ynysmeudwy Pottery 'Bluebells' cream and lustre jug c1850-1860

Creamware Victorian  jug with relief design of bluebells (a pattern referred to by some as 'harebells') hand-painted with pink lustre glaze decoration.  Made at the Ynysmeudwy Pottery, near Pontardawe, north east of Swansea, which produced domestic earthenware and architectural ceramics from about 1845 to 1875. This relatively short-lived pottery was located on the Swansea Canal at Ynysmeudwy.
