Description

I hope you all will be able to identify more detailed information regarding this unmarked beautiful family heirloom! The information I have uncovered is possibly Parian ware, possibly salt glazed. Charles Meigh, circa 1840-1860 very light weight.. The jug is 6 sided stands 11" tall, highly detailed with 3 cherubs on the left of the ornate handle. Each cherub is different, one playing a tambourine, one playing a violin and the third has a bow and arrow. On the right of the handle depicts the same 3 cherubs as described above. There is a hairline crack in the jug as shown in the pictures, no chips that I've noticed . I can find "apostle" online and a couple other of these jugs that seem to have been popular, I have not located one with cherubs. Is this jug rare? Is the era 1840-1860 correct? Would you know the value?

Thank you in advance, any and all information will be greatly appreciated as I have no family members left with knowledge of this beauty.

Kindest regards
