The Jug is of the footed baluster type, standing on an applied circular foot decorated with reeding. The main body has a plain baluster form and rises to an everted neck and shaped spout and rim, applied to the main body as a separate section. The scroll handle has a leaf capped top and tri-furcated moulding where it is attached at the top. The front is finely engraved with an armorial surrounded by a foliate scroll cartouche. The Jug is in excellent condition, has a fine colour and is of a good gauge and weight. This example is fully marked in the foot.
The arms are those of Dickinson or Dicconson, as they are the only ones with a Fess Ermine in the middle. If so it is specified to the branches at Cleypole in Lincolnshire, Bradley in Staffordshire and "co. Yorkshire".
Height: 3.9 inches, 9.75 cm.
