Jug transfer-printed in blue with two views of Greenwich; one showing Greenwich Hospital as seen from the Isle of Dogs and one looking north-west from Greenwich Park. The former is in correct orientation but the latter, which looks down from One Tree Hill, is printed in reverse, left to right: in other words, the Queen's House and a distant view of London and St Paul's Cathedral appear to the right of the Hospital domes when they should be to the left. The jug has a blue floral border around the rim and an oval cartouche under the lip, hand-painted in brown and with the inscription: 'Joseph Little. Wootten Basset 1826'. He was probably a prosperous local yeoman farmer who was born in 1782 and died in 1841: his will in the National Archives (PROB 11/1944/271) includes disposition of a variety of household goods including ceramics. This jug is a piece in what is known as the 'Rock Cartouche' series by Elkin, Knight and Co. and their successors at the Foley Potteries in Fenton, just west of Stoke-on-Trent, where it appears to have been produced from about 1823. The general pattern is blue and white, transfer-printed with floral decoration around landscape scenes from various publications, largely of the 1820s. In this case the source of the Hospital view from the Thames is a print of 1809 after Samuel Owen in the Cooke's 'Views on the Thames': no printed source has yet been found for that from the Park. It is at least very unusual in showing domestic cattle in the foreground, which may suggest something very derivative since the Greenwich and Thames background could have been copied from a number of other prints. Most 'Rock Cartouche' pottery is table and dinner ware, but jugs like this are among other individual items found in it. The name 'Rock Cartouche' refers to a blue-printed image of a boulder with wild plants around it on which the name of the place illustrated is shown, except for Fountains Abbey which has a floral ribbon cartouche. Early pieces also bear an impressed mark of a crown with 'Elkin, Knight & Co.' underneath: later ones made by Elkin's successor partners bear the impressed mark of an eagle. The marks of this item remain to be confirmed.
