Motto Ware Cream Jug & Sugar Blue

This is the cutest set. It is motto ware from Torquay, Devon, England although I don't know what factory as it is unmarked. The set dates to 1910-1920s. It is of red clay with blue & geometric slip and glazed over the motto. The cream jug measures 2 7/8 inches high and the motto is Du'ee Be Aisy. The sugar basin measures 3.75 inches in diameter by 2 inches high and the motto reads Du'ee Ave Zum Sugar. They are in very good condition with 2 tiny fleabites through the glaze on the rim of the sugar basin. A great find. This famous and fun pottery has been manufactured in the south of England from the 1870's until the factories closed in the 1960's. It is usually of red clay decorated with bright glazes, cottages and mottos or sayings that run the gamut from proverbs and sound advice to nearly outrageous. Always fun & different and very collectible! Shipping in the US by USPS priority insured with tracking is $10.40.
