SALE Small Vintage SARAH GAMP Character Jug

Porcelain

 

From out of an estate collection, this is a small vintage character or toby jug that depicts SARAH GAMP, a fictional character in Charles Dickens' novel Martin Chuzzlewit, She was a high-spirited nurse-midwife who was as enthusiastic at laying out a corpse as she was at delivering a baby. The character is famous for her bulky umbrella, enormous bonnet, and constant reference to the imaginary Mrs. Harris. This little toby jug is hand painted and stands just 2 5/8" tall. This is marked on the bottom very faintly in green "Lancaster & Sandland Ltd." It is also marked in incised letters "SARAH GAMP" and in green block letters "Mrs. Gamp, Regd. No," (I can't make out the number.) This is in excellent vintage condition with no chips and no cracks...just some over all crazing, consistent with age. This is a cute Dickensware collectible to add to your collection!
