This is the holy grail of antiques with inventive repairs…a set of five matching two-tone salt glazed stoneware\u00a0jugs with matching replaced tin handles! Each jug has a fox hunt scene in relief;\u00a0the three larger jugs are marked “QUART” and the two smaller ones have “PINT” incised on the front. They were made in Lambeth (now known as Waterloo), a borough within London, England. I purchased the set from a dealer in New Jersey who loved them as much as I do. It took a couple of visits and a little bit of coaxing to convince her to sell them to me, as I assured her they were going to a good home.<\/p>\n

All jugs have replaced handles with two straps made from tin, as well as multiple cracks and chips. If these jugs could talk I am sure they would tell colorful tales of life in an 19th century English pub!<\/p>\n

This is what a Lambeth jug looks like with its handle intact.<\/p>\n
