Jug, white earthenware with a blue pearlware glaze, heavily potted, ovoid body, the lower part fluted below a moulded rib; cylindrical neck, the lower part fluted, and projecting lip; double C-scroll handle with moulded thumb rest; painted in monochrome with a view of the pottery showing the tops of four kilns, a two-story house, and a long range of buildings with a cupola-ed structure behind, a landscape with four bridges in the background, on one side; the other side bears a water mill, a kiln, two houses, outbuildings and a sailing barge; hooped top and bottom with a gild band and two black lines

On one side of the jug is a finely painted view of the Ferrybridge Pottery, showing Ferrybridge House, a row of workers cottages and the kilns of the pottery itself, established in 1793. In the background are the bridges of the Brotherton Causeway crossing Brotherton marshes. On the reverse is a view of the Old Flint Mill, built in 1792, featuring a barge and a hardcart full of coal. On the front is the monogram 'CS'. Recent research has shown that Ernest Morton Nance, the former owner of jug, was mistaken in his belief that the views were of the Cambrian Pottery in Swansea.
