The Jug is of typical Irish design and stands on three paw and shell feet which are attached to the main body with lion mask mouldings. This example has an applied reeded girdle around the centre of the main body and a pronounced pouring spout. The Jug has a leaf capped scroll handle and the side is also engraved with a contemporary Crest. Work by this particular partnership is very scarce.
