Storr was active in London from 1792 until 1838, and his shop specialized in using forms and ornament derived from ancient Greek and Roman sources. King George III and King George IV were major patrons of Storr’s. On this jug, the classical motifs include wide band of die-stamped arches, papyrus, and anthemion below the shoulders and scrollwork around the neck. The handle takes the form of a dragon – from the scaly, divided tail in silver at the base, the ivory “body” for the handle scrolls back on itself to attach on the neck as a winged head. Regency ornament often incorporated fantastical or “exotic” motifs as well as neoclassical ones.
