This exquisite Vintage Mason’s Ironstone “Formosa” Fenton Pitcher or Jug beautifully showcases the craftsmanship and heritage of early 20th-century English pottery. Produced by Mason’s, one of England’s most renowned ceramic makers, this collectible jug bears the company’s iconic Ironstone mark, first patented by Charles Mason in 1813 as a durable, porcelain-like alternative for everyday use.

The Formosa pattern, inspired by the rich flora and fauna of East Asia, features large blooming peonies, exotic birds, and trailing vines in a warm palette of yellow, olive green, turquoise, brown, and deep pink. Each piece was transfer-printed and hand-colored, giving it one-of-a-kind artistry and charm.

Known as a “Fenton” jug, this piece has an elegant octagonal body that tapers gracefully to a flared neck and spout.  The pattern continues inside the lip for an added touch of vintage beauty.

Perfect for collectors or those who love timeless, storied design, this Mason’s Ironstone jug brings English history and artistry to your home.
