I have mainly seen these patterns on jugs but I owned, until recently, a pair of storage jars with the same two patterns. You can find them on this page on my collection website: https://zellercollection.com/product/storage-jar-a-pair-chinese-river-scene-with-temple-and-pyramids-willow-and-summer-house-copy/
I also had two jugs with the same, one nearly 10": https://zellercollection.com/product/jug-chinese-river-scene-with-temple-and-pyramids-willow-and-summer-house-2/
I have always thought it unusual that these two patterns were used together, but when well printed, they almost look like a panoramic scene. Unfortunately, I do not know for certain who made them although the Tanners attribute the pattern Swansea. Their attribution is based on another jug of the same pattern and shape, also previously in my collection, that has a Cambrian “Venus” printer’s mark:https://zellercollection.com/product/jug-chinese-river-scene-with-temple-and-pyramids-willow-and-summer-house/
Hope this helps.
