A classic symbol of English domestic grace, this James Kent Old Foley “Chinese Rose” Jug captures the romance and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Staffordshire pottery.
Produced by James Kent Ltd. at the famed Old Foley Works in Longton, this piece reflects the enduring popularity of the “Chinese Rose” pattern — a design that first appeared in the 1930s and quickly became a hallmark of the brand. The pattern itself is steeped in the Chinoiserie tradition, a Western artistic movement that celebrated the mystique of the East through intricate floral and avian motifs.
Every curve of this jug tells a story — the fluted rim, elegantly shaped handle, and soft ivory glaze showcase the artistry of English ceramic design between the wars. The decoration, featuring vivid peonies, yellow blossoms, and delicate songbirds, is transfer-printed and hand-tinted by artisans whose skill brought warmth and vibrancy to everyday tableware.
Once used to serve milk or cream at a well-laid breakfast table, the Chinese Rose Jug now stands as a cherished collectible.
