[QUOTE="Mike Westaway, post: 4344877, member: 36162"]Hi all, Whilst clearing out my late parents house I came across this "jug" tucked behind a chest of drawers in the cellar and I would really like to find out a bit more about it. Firstly would you call it a jug, ewer or a vase? As it has a handle I'm not sure about vase but as it doesn't have a spout I'm not sure about jug or ewer. Its in pretty poor condition as it has several chips, a large chunk missing from the side and a crack around the middle but for me that just adds to it's character. It stands 11" (28cm) tall. It has a green glaze and is stamped 1798 on the base. If anyone could help I'd like to find out if 1798 is the date it was made, where it may have been made and if it has any value? I don't want to part with it but if it is worth something I have to consider my brother and sisters as technically they would have an interest in it as part of my parents estate. Thank you for any help. Mike [ATTACH=full]359628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]359629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]359630[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
