Vintage Wade Ware Motoring Jug – Bentley & Alfa Romeo

Description

A small jug with a big sense of adventure.

This vintage ceramic jug features illustrated early motor cars — Bentley and Alfa Romeo — racing across a stylised landscape, capturing the romance of early 20th-century motoring.

Made by Wade in England, the jug is finished in a warm mustard-gold crackle glaze, with a softly curved form and generous pouring lip. It feels both decorative and useful — equally at home holding cream, flowers, wooden spoons, or simply standing beautifully on a shelf.

A lovely piece for car lovers, map enthusiasts, writers, and anyone drawn to objects that hint at journeys taken long ago.
