Pig ornament
Pig ornament, dated ‘1803’ but probably made by Edwin Jenkins at Ewenny in the late 1800s.
Ewenny in the Vale of Glamorgan has a long tradition of making pottery. All the materials were at hand - red clay, glaze materials to finish the wares, stone to build the kilns and coal to fire the pots. There have been 15 potteries in the area at one time or another. Now there are only two. One family, the Jenkinses, has carried on the tradition for over 8 generations.
Model of pig, moulded, with separately moulded ears & feet; eye detail in sgraffito; covered with white slip which has been wiped away in patches to give a spotted appearance; yellow glaze overall.
