Decorative 19th Century Lilac English Salt Glaze Jug

A wonderful antique English jug or pitcher from the mid 1800s.

with a stippled lilac background, a wide spout, reeded handle, and grapes with vines and bows in relief on the surround.

My best guess is Samuel Alcock of Cobridge, Staffordshire, whose pottery produced beautiful molded jugs.

Jamie Allpress of Allpress Antiques at Malvern in Melbourne, enjoys collecting charming ceramic jugs, which were originally created to hold liquid.

I share his passion, especially for well-shaped jugs that can be used to hold fresh flowers stylishly.
