Factory: Josiah Wedgwood & Sons
Red stoneware with glazed interior, decorated on the front in red and yellow enamel with the arms of Peterhouse, Cambridge
Red stoneware, thrown, turned, and glazed inside; the exterior is decorated with a black transfer-print coloured in yellow and orange enamels. The jug is of squat pear-shape with a short cylindrical neck, and everted rim with a lip at the front. The strap handle has a longitudinal depression, and splays out at the bottom. There are two narrow turned bands level with the junction of the lower end of the handle and body, and a deeper, wider band below the neck. On the front below the lip there is the coat-of-arms of Peterhouse College, Cambridge, printed in black and enamelled in yellow and orange.
