John Schuppe
active London, 1753 - 1773
John Schuppe is first recorded in England on 28 June 1753 when his name was recorded as a largeworker of Little Deans Court, St Martins-le-Grand. He was registered to 6 New Rents in 1755. In 1773 his name appeared in the Parliamentary Return. The majority of creamers shaped as a cow in the Dutch style between 1753 and 1773 bear his mark. Nothing is known of him after 1773.[1][2]
One of his cow-shaped creamers (1759-60) is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, with the tail as the handle and a lid on the back with a giant fly on top.[3] A similar jug by Schuppe sold at Bonhams in 2016 for £4,750 including premium.[4]
The theft of a cow-shaped creamer was an element in the comic novel The Code of the Woosters (1938) by P.G. Wodehouse.[1]
