Description

Highly engraved water jug,with a figure head of a lady atop of the upswept pouring handle. The lid has a high knob,surrounded by 4 circular knobs,and one further one on top. The jug has ornate fine engraving around the main jug itself. Highly ornate in its design. The jug has not been cleaned,since I've owned it,but stored in a dark cupboard for years. I have just recently put it on display,in our new large china cabinet.
