JUG PITCHER. ART DECO. JAMES DIXON & SONS. S.XX.

Description:
- Small jug, Art Deco style, with numerous contrasts.
- The jug, from the British firm James Dixon & Sons, has an Art Deco style, with two geometric borders, both at the top and the bottom. Surrounding the mouth of the jug is a small rope border.
- On the base of the jug there are several contrasts. The first is a trumpet next to the initials: JD&S
- James Dixon & Sons, founded in 1806 in Sheffield, was one of the leading British manufacturers of the Industrial Revolution.
- The following contrasts are: 'EP=BM BHA - 8833/1' - 1/3.
- After appropriate research, we know that the letters EPBM stand for: Britannia Metal, specifically Sheffield Metal.
- A specific type of pewter alloy, popular for its silvery appearance and smooth surface, is called 'Britannia Metal'. It is ductile and easily rolled, melted and cast. This alloy is used in the manufacture of Oscar awards.
- It has an elegant design, with a clear Art Deco influence, so we place it between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
- The fact that the object has a Distinctive, Mark or Contrast is of great importance in order to be able to identify data such as its maker, the place where it was made and other details.
