Description:

A molded octagonal shape earthenware jug printed in blue with the Boy in the Window pattern on one side, shown here, and a second Chinoiserie design printed on the opposite side.  A deep blue ground was added underglaze and other colors were painted both under and overglaze in rust, green, yellow, and pink. A molded Mandarin face is positioned under the spout.  The reserve under the spout incorporates the union symbols of rose, thistle and shamrock (shown below). A very similar jug was made by the contemporary firm of Lockett & Hulme, also of Longton.
