History: This is a small porcelain jug or ewer made by Crescent Pottery, a Staffordshire pottery known for elegant mid-century decorative wares. The piece features a high-gloss black glaze over porcelain, with a metallic gilt floral design on the body and gilt detailing on the lip and handle.
 
 
The backstamp, though partially worn, clearly shows the Crescent Pottery mark with the lion crest, a hallmark used in the mid-20th century. The form—bulbous base with narrow neck, flared lip, and ornate handle—is typical of ornamental miniature jugs made for decorative display rather than functional use.
 
 
The black and gold color scheme and stylized floral motif align with 1950s to early 1960s British decorative trends, reflecting post-war tastes for luxury finishes and smaller domestic ornamentals.
