Buff stoneware, thrown, with applied handle and separate cover, decorated with applied moulded reliefs, highly lustrous brown glaze (Lehmglasur), painted with blue, red, and brown lacquer (?) colours, and gilded; pewter mounts. The jug has an ovoid body, a conical neck with a small pinched lip, and a strap handle. The shallow convex cover has a mushroom-shaped knob, a pewter mount round the edge, and a thumbpiece attached to the top of the handle by a hinged mount.
