The jug is in excellent condition for its age.
It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the base.
The jug has a baluster-shaped bowl measuring 6.4 cm (2.5 inches) in diameter at the pouring rim. The bowl was blown into a three part mould and the pattern is a mixture of diamond-moulding and prism-moulding. The pouring rim is enhanced with applied blue glass. The jug is 8.5 cm (3.4 inches) across at its widest point (pouring spout to outside of the handle) and is 9 cm (3.6 inches) in height. The base is moulded. The handle was first applied to the top of the bowl and then finished off at the bottom of the bowl with a curlicue. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any other obvious evidence of restoration. There is a collector's sticker to the base and a sticker for Marris Antiques.
