The jug has a bulbous body with a tall cylindrical neck pinched at the front to form a lip, and a loop handle with a central longitudinal ridge, and a pointed extension below its lower junction with the body. On the front is an incised plant with thirteen pairs of lance-shaped leaves, and one more on the right of the stem, alternately coloured in blue and manganese-purple, and perhaps intended to represent a palm frond or fern. This is flanked by vertical foliated scrolls with small areas coloured manganese-purple, reserved in a blue ground. The area on either side of, and under, the handle is undecorated.The glaze has produced a prominent 'orange-peel' effect on the grey areas. object type: grey salt-glazed stoneware decorated with an incised plant between foliated scrolls and painted in manganese-purple and blue title: jug NOTES ----- type: history note value: Mr Freeman’ sale at Cambridge 27 January 1904, at which bought by Dr J.W.L.
