English copper lustre jug, c.1835

This English copper lustre (or luster) jug (or pitcher) was one of the first items I purchased with a “make-do” repair. It has a pink lustre greyhound in relief on one side…

an ornate standing basket of flowers decorates the front of the jug…

and a bull graces the other side of the jug…

A tin handle with thumb rest and bands replaces the original pottery handle, which broke off over 100 years ago

“Perfect” example showing original handle intact
