A Longton Hall sparrow beak jug and a Bow sparrow beak jug

circa 1754 and 1770
The Longton jug with a thin angular handle, painted in blue with two Chinese buildings on an island with a prunus tree and a hill, twin peaks in the distance, 7.4cm high (cracked, some wear), the Bow jug with a ribbed handle, painted in blue with the 'Mansfield' pattern, 7.8cm high (minute rim chips) (2)

Footnotes

Although the second-mentioned jug is closely related to accepted Bow examples in terms of the shape, paste and glaze, the possibility that it was made at Isleworth must also be considered
