DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Pearlware, printed on glaze in black with a scene depicting freed slaves celebrating their emancipation. A central, mostly nude, male figure holds his arms aloft, flanked on either side by a woman with a young child (the woman on his left with a book by her side). To the right, another male figure holds aloft his former chains. The background shows a body of water with a ship and some Pyramids (?) in the distance. This scene is printed on both sides of the body of the jug. Beneath the rim (exterior and interior) is a floral border with a central cartouche showing miniature figures by the sea, a ship in the background - a white figure kneeling and offering something to a standing black figure. A group flying the Union Jack can be seen to the left and the figure of Britannia to the right.
