<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 353795, member: 7360"]Hi there, my first problem piece! I've only had this jug a short time, but I'm keen to get started on identifying it. I love the colours; would you call them drip glaze, or is there some other term for this decoration? I'm in the UK so it will almost certainly be British, but the motif of the harp makes me wonder if it was made in Ireland, Scotland or Wales rather than England, although maybe it was made in England for the Celtic market. There is a rather shallow moulding of a hunting-type hound sitting in a chair on the other side, difficult to see through the glaze, which adds to the idea of a medieval baronial hall. There is nothing on the bottom to indicate manufacturer. I've found a photo of another jug which has similar glaze, but is more cleanly moulded with various kinds of sea life, and has a fish handle - a much classier object. It was described as 19th Century English in the original listing - <a href="https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/305470787199634441/?lp=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/305470787199634441/?lp=true" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/305470787199634441/?lp=true</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here's mine:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]120265[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
