Arts and Crafts three-handled Scottish Edinburgh Tyg country jug by Johnford & Co

1850-1900

Produced by Johnford & Co, Edinboro

H20*15*15 cm

A three-handled Scottish Edinburgh Tyg country jug made by Johnford & Co Edinboro in the mid to late 19th century. It could be used as a vase.

Tyg refers to a multi-handled drinking vessel, and its origins may be closely related to the West Country pottery making styles of Donyette, Flemington, Braunton and Barnstable.

As traditional English country pottery (focused on producing functional items for everyday use) is closely related to the boom of the Industrial Revolution in Britain in the nineteenth century and the Arts and Crafts movement's preference for simpler styles and decorative ceramics, it aimed to maintain traditional skills and British rural culture.

They have an innocent charm and simplicity, often with pastel colors and simple decorations, accompanied by interesting graffiti or Gaelic sayings.

This type of Tyg vessels have been made since the early 19th century. After 1850, the number was greatly reduced by the impact of the Industrial Revolution. The remaining Tyg pots today are very rare.

This Tyg pot is painted with a rooster and "Guid Morn" (good morning in Gaelic) on one side, and the Gaelic motto on the other side: "Charaid nan gaid heal", which means friend of the highlands.

About the Johnford & Co workshop, established in 1815, it mainly produces vulcanized glass and a small amount of pottery. Its works were highly praised at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, and its company information can still be found in the British National Archives today.

工艺美术运动苏格兰高地泰格壶

1850-1900年

制造商：Johnford & Co, Edinboro，爱丁堡，苏格兰

高20*15*15厘米

十九世纪中晚期由Johnford & Co Edinboro 制作的三柄苏格兰爱丁堡泰格（Tyg）乡村水壶，可被用作花瓶。

Tyg 指多柄饮用容器，其起源可能与唐耶特、弗雷明顿、布朗顿和巴恩斯特布尔等西部乡村陶器的制作风格密切相关。

作为传统英国乡村陶器（专注于生产日常使用的功能性物品）与英国十九世纪工业革命蓬勃发展时期以及工艺美术运动对更简单风格和装饰性陶瓷的偏爱需求紧密相关，旨在保持传统技艺和英国乡村文化。

它们具有天真的魅力和古朴，往往搭配柔和的色彩和简单的装饰，伴有有趣的涂鸦或是盖尔语格言。

这类Tyg容器从十九世纪初期就被开始制作，1850年后受到工业革命的冲击数量大大减少，今天遗存的Tyg壶非常稀有。

这件Tyg壶一侧绘有公鸡和”Guid Morn”（即Good Morning，盖尔语中意为早安），另一侧有盖尔语格言：”Charaid nan gaid heal”，即friend of the highlands，（苏格兰高地）盖尔人之友。

关于Johnford & Co工坊，建立于1815年，主要制作硫化玻璃和少部分陶器，其作品在1893年芝加哥世博会上大受推崇，今天在英国国家档案库中依然可以查询到其公司资料。
