It stands 9.5 inches high and is marked on the underside &#8220;Naomi and Her Daughters-in-Law&#8221;, along with a British diamond registration mark, dating the jug to 1847. The design was taken from the painting <em>Naomi with Her Daughters-in-law Ruth and Orpah<\/em> by Henry Nelson O&#8217;Neill (1817-1880.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have seen more examples of the Alcock &#8220;Naomi&#8221; jug with replacement handles than any other pieces. There must have been a design and or manufacturing flaw in the original molds, which rendered the handle unstable. Although this jug maintains its original pewter lid, it was fitted with a metal replacement handle and support straps after the original handle broke off, most likely soon after it was made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be fun to see how many more jugs with this design and replacement handles are out there, so please let me know if you have own one or have come across any.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"532\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-04-at-6.24.24-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15136\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-04-at-6.24.24-PM.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-04-at-6.24.24-PM-226x300.jpeg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6731.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14973\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6731.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6731-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6731-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6732.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14974\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6732.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6732-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6732-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6733.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14975\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6733.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6733-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6733-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6734.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14976\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6734.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6734-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6734-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6735.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14977\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6735.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6735-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6735-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6736.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14978\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6736.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6736-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6736-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are both of my Naomi jugs side by side for comparison.
