English soft paste pearlware jug with copper lustre bands, pink lustre trim and applied low relief classical decoration of frolicking cherubs and animals. It was most likely made by Wedgwood around 1820.
A metal bolt, visible just below the pink lustre band inside of the jug, holds the replaced handle securely in place
Jug stand 3-3/4″ tall and is 5-1/2″ wide
A metal handle was bolted on to the body of the jug to replace the original handle after it broke off. Curiously, the metal replacement was gilded to match the copper color of the jug and not white to more closely resemble the original handle color
This jug, with the same form and similar decoration, shows what the original handle of my repaired jug would have looked like
