Golf Themed China Milk Jug by Ridgway
The Ridgway family was one of the important dynasties manufacturing Staffordshire pottery, with a large number of family members and business names, over a period from the 1790s to the late 20th century. In their heyday in the mid-19th century there were several different potteries run by different branches of the family. Most of their wares were earthenware, but often of very high quality, but stoneware and bone china were also made. Many earlier pieces were unmarked and identifying them is difficult or impossible. Typically for Staffordshire, the various businesses, initially set up as partnerships, changed their official names rather frequently, and often used different trading names, so there are a variety of names that can be found.
A unique china milk jug made by Ridgway's of Staffordshire is circa 1891. Depicting a period golfer with a wooden starters hut in the background. There are no chips or damage to this lovely milk jug.
