Minton Laurel and Rose Slop Pail Jar & Liner ca. 1906

Minton Slop Pail and Liner, made 1906.

Laurel and Rose pattern.

11" tall overall.  13" wide at handles.  Central hole in liner is 2-5/8". 

This large form is a slop pail, also known as a slop jar.  It would have been part of a washing set which would include a pitcher and bowl, a sponge dish, a soap dish, a toothbrush holder, candlesticks, and a lidded chamber pot.

The slop pail would have been used to hold dirty water wrung from the sponge while washing.  This one came from a grand house owned by a major industrial family in the Wilmington, Delaware area.  It must not have been used for very long before they got indoor plumbing, as the condition is nothing short of remarkable.

There is a single glaze skip measuring 3/16" at rim of liner. This is a factory flaw.   There is minor wear and loss to green enamel band at rim and around knobs as shown.

Overall, this is a very fine example of this large Minton form.  The wicker handle that would have attached to the knobs at the sides is not present.

Fully marked on base with underglaze Minton backstamp, impressed "Minton's", and with other impressed marks including the 6 within a circle that definitively dates this to 1906.
