Jug, white stoneware with hinged lid in Britannia metal, decorated with relief-moulded figures in gothic niches, made by Thomas, John and Joseph Mayer, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, 1846+
the jug does not have either registered design mark or makers' marks, but conforms to the pattern in the Patent Office book of representations registered by T, J and J Mayer on 29th September 1846
the lid is impressed T BOOTH HANLEY; other similarly marked lids are known, perhaps pointing to a small metalworking shop specialising in mounts and fittings for the pottery industry
