John Maddock & Sons Water Pitcher

Description

This a water pitcher with a blue rose pattern. The John Maddock & Sons ltd. trade mark dates the pitcher between1896 and 1906. I cannot find any information other than the trade mark date. Under the trade mark is the word ROSES which I believe is the pattern name. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Hi,

 Your date research is correct. Apprears to be the jug from a wash set. With the crack you could get 40-50.00 for it.  If the bowl was with it possibly over a hundred. 

John Maddock was a Burslem, Staffordshire potter who started in 1839, first he was with someone named Edwards (Maddick&Edwards) then Seddon (Maddock& Seddon 1839-42)  , in 1855 he became Maddock & Sons, then in 1896 the "Ltd" was added.

Have a good day.
