Chinese River Scene with Temple and Pyramid AND Willow and Summer House pattern Posted by Susan D. Walter on May 13, 2022, 5:34 pm I have fragments of these two patterns (TCC#559 & 627), and they are from one jug. So far as I can tell from my on line research, those two patterns are always together, and always on jugs. Do you know if these patterns ever appear singly and/or on vessels other than jugs? Thanks, S. Walter

Re: Chinese River Scene with Temple and Pyramid AND Willow and Summer House pattern Posted by Loren Zeller on May 13, 2022, 11:27 pm, in reply to "Chinese River Scene with Temple and Pyramid AND Willow and Summer House pattern" Hi Susan, 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. Loren
