Description
A rare and small brown stoneware jug of American interest c.1830-40, perhaps Brampton, the rounded sides moulded in relief with portraits representing George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and probably John Adams, the spout modelled as a mask, the handle as a greyhound, the rim pierced with four small holes, 11cm high.
Washington, Adams and Franklin were three of the Founding Fathers and key figures in the signing of the American Declaration of Independence in 1776.
