It is decorated with a cobalt blue geometric border, chrysanthemums, and leaves, with red and green overpainting and gilt highlights. On the underside is the stamp\u00a0&#8220;DAVENPORT STONE CHINA,&#8221; which\u00a0dates this jug to 1805-1820. It stands 7 inches high and is 6.5 inches wide from lip to handle.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that well over 100 years ago this jug had\u00a0a great fall, but unlike Humpty Dumpty, it WAS\u00a0put back together again. A &#8220;china mender&#8221;\u00a0used 27 metal staples to secure the cracks, adding an unintentional secondary\u00a0pattern to\u00a0the already busy design. For extra precaution, red wax was applied to the cracks on the inside, as a deterrent\u00a0against\u00a0possible leakage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=10728\"
