Connell, Pewter Jug with Turquoise Ruskin Jewels
£800
A pewter jug by A. E. Connell & Sons, incorporating turquoise Ruskin jewels to the body, exemplifying the refined craftsmanship of the early Arts and Crafts period. The jug features a domed hinged lid, elegantly tapering form, and a woven rattan handle. The subtle contrast between the polished pewter and the soft hues of the turquoise stones highlights the influence of Birmingham Guild metalwork and Liberty & Co. design ethos around 1900–1910. This piece reflects the period’s unity of art, material, and function through handcrafted precision and minimal ornamentation.
