Creamware jug, Orozimbo of Baltimore
Herculaneum Pottery Factory, Liverpool, England, ca 1806-1810

Creamware jug, Orozimbo of Baltimore
The ship OROZIMBO of Baltimore was built in 1805 in Matthews County, Virginia. Captain E.P. Gardener memorialized his vessel's maiden voyage to Liverpool by commissioning this jug with his initials. The source image for the vessel on the jug is a watercolor in the Museum's collection. On the reverse is depicted the apotheosis (glorification) of George Washington, a common subject in the decades after this popular president's death.
