It was made in\u00a0Sunderland, UK, c.1860-1870 and has pink lustre and dark red transfer decoration with over washes of yellow, green, and blue. The other side has the verse: &#8220;From rocks and sands and barren land. Kind fortune keep me free. And from great guns and woman&#8217;s tongues, Good Lord deliver me.&#8221; A nice sentiment, although not quite politically correct.<\/p>\n<p>A tinker in the 19th century created the metal replacement handle with finger grip and a wide horizontal band, replacing the original broken pottery handle.<\/p>\n<p>I purchased this jug and\u00a0a medium size one from a London dealer earlier this year. Along with a large jug I purchased many years ago from a different dealer in London, I now have a trio of graduating size jugs, each with similar decoration and metal replacement handles. Take a look at the other two:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?p=2552\">Large Sunderland jug, c.1855<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?p=12890\">Medium Sunderland jug &#8220;Great Australia&#8221;, c.1865<\/a>. I promise one day to snap a photo of all three jugs together.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12984\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12984\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
