Jug
A jug in the form of a woman wearing Welsh costume.
The Welsh lady became a marketing gimmick. She appeared on china, jugs, plates, tea towels and all kinds of souvenirs. The development of the railways in the middle of the 1880s brought new tourists to Wales. Souvenirs became all the rage. The industry contributed to the Welsh costume becoming a national icon.
