identification of the chess jug Posted by Joanna Drzoanna on July 20, 2025, 4:32 pm I recently bought a pot, damaged and without a lid, but the pattern intrigued me. I found a similar scene with chess players on the following websites: https://www.transferwarecollectorsclub.org/pattern-month/chess-battle and https://dishynews.blogspot.com/2017/10/chess-and-transferware-collectors-club.html. However, there are visible differences, and the craftsmanship details are different. The pattern on my jug seems less meticulous, as if someone had carelessly copied the pattern from the links. Are my observations accurate? Can you determine the manufacturer of pot and its production date? I will be grateful for your help! Joanna Drzoanna from Krakow, Poland.

The pattern record notes there is a strong possibility that it was made by William Adams but evidently a maker's mark has not been seen.

Re: identification of the chess jug Posted by Len on July 26, 2025, 4:01 pm, in reply to "Re: identification of the chess jug" It looks 1830-1835 to me.
