Each jug features a faceted baluster form, bold floral decoration, and distinctive scroll handles with molded animal-head terminals.

The jugs range in size, (9.5”h to 4.5”)creating a visually dynamic grouping that displays beautifully together while also allowing individual use as decorative vessels. All are marked on the base with Mason’s crown mark reading “Mason’s Patent Ironstone China,” confirming English manufacture and 19th-century origin.

These jugs exemplify the strength and decorative appeal that made Mason’s ironstone highly desirable in both England and America. Today, sets such as this are especially sought after for display in kitchens, dining rooms, and shelves, as well as for use as flower vessels or purely decorative accents.

Offered as a complete set of six. See less
