| Figure 1 Pearlware jug (reverse, front, and obverse views), attributed to the Cambrian Pottery, Swansea, Wales, and decorator William Weston Young, ca. 1804. H. 12". (Author’s collection; photos, Gavin Ashworth.) Inscribed, on obverse: “Here Books and work employ each moments time / Unconscious both of Folly and of crime. / The wise directions of parental Love / Rout out each Vice and every month improve.” The jug, which is one of a pair, originally belonged to Sally (Sarah) Sayward Barrell Keating Wood. The jug’s mate, now in the collection of the Maine Historical Society, originally belonged to Nathaniel Barrell, father of Sally Sayward Barrell Keating Wood. |
