Pink Elephant Water Jug - Hornsea Fauna



SOLD


Lovely Hornsea Pink Elephant bar water jug from the Hornsea Fauna range of around 60 years vintage - the mark on the base of this dates it to around 1955. It is well detailed, the barrel with the legend "Take More Water With It" (presumably as you're in a pub and seeing pink elephants). As well as the backstamp, there is an impressed C1 on the base.  There is a tiny flea bite on the rim to the left of the trunk (facing - see detail - looks worse in picture than in real life) and on the same side nearer the spout, a very fine hairline crack about 1cm long, just about visible in the close up of the barrel. It is otherwise sound and in very good condition.

13cm x 10cm (h) x 8cm
