This Art Deco jug was made by Burgess \u0026amp; Leigh at the Middleport Pottery in Burslem. Its handle is modelled as the Pied Piper of Hamelin himself, leaning into the rim with pipe raised, mid-tune. Below him a tumble of rats swirls around the foot, following the music exactly as the legend says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe body is in Burleigh’s signature buttercup-yellow glaze. It carries a relief-moulded scene of Hamelin’s spired church and castle walls under a hand-brushed sunset sky in orange and sage. The Piper wears a polka-dot doublet, green hose and a black peaked cap. The rim has the classic Burleigh black-spot border and the interior is lined in soft green, all hand-painted by Burslem paintresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Pied Piper was designed by Ernest Bailey, Burleigh’s celebrated modeller. It belongs to the company’s famous series of figural-handle jugs alongside the Dragon, Kingfisher, Parrot, Highwayman and Squirrel. These jugs are among the most collected English Art Deco ceramics in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~ 21cm tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable at La La Vintage                                                                                                                                             67 Semaphore Road,                                                                                                                                         Semaphore SA 5019                                                                                                                                               (Next to Odeon Cinema)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La La Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48253116547126,"sku":null,"price":179.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9038\/3670\/files\/IMG_0254.jpg?v=1792628968","url":"https:\/\/lalavintage.com.au\/products\/c-1940s-vintage-burleigh-ware-pied-piper-jug","provider":"La La Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
