Jug, earthenware, standing on a rounded slightly spreading foot-rim, bulbous sides tapering inwards at the shoulder, cylindrical neck flaring out to an everted lip-rim, trefoil lobed mouth with wide spout, straight-backed high loop handle with raised thumb-spur and an inner spur further down, the upper terminal split into two foliate moulded prongs, the lower terminal issuing moulded foliage onto the body of the jug; transfer-printed in green with to the body the 'Genoa' pattern showing in the foreground a number of elegantly dressed figures gazing across an expanse of water to a collection of grandiose onion-domed buildings and distant mountains, overhanging trees to both sides of the scene, to the exterior and interior neck a series of panels enclosed within scrolling cartouches containing smaller scenes of Italianate buildings and landscapes, to the handle a pattern of interlacing geometric lines and stylised flower heads enclosing a scaled green ground.
