Antique
milk jug with ornate handle by Anthony Shaw of Burslem in a rather
sturdy and undecorated white ironstone, "Stone China". The backstamp
dates it to approximately between 1860 and 1882. At one time it would
have had a hinged pewter lid but this has broken off leaving only the
two lugs still in situ either side of the handle. Apart from a little
crazing it's in excellent condition for its age. When I acquired it it
was covered in a horrible orange paint and I have done my best to remove it
all but there may be the odd rogue spot in the recesses.
