I love miniatures and was really excited to find this tiny two-toned floral sprigged pottery jug, made in Derbyshire, England in the mid-1800’s.
This little jug stands a mere 2″ tall and is made of stoneware with a salt glazed finish, which was fired at a high temperature to insure a glass-like, non-porous surface.
The original handle was replaced with an over scaled tin handle & strap, looking a bit out of proportion on this small jug.
This is what the original jug handle might have looked like had it not broken off.
