Provenance
Sir Jeremy Lever Collection, Bonhams sale, 7 March 2007, lot 22
Ralph Kenber Collection

The enamelled decoration was probably painted independently in London, with the plain moulded jug perhaps being bought at Worcester's Aldersgate Street warehouse. A similar jug with the added London decoration of insects, is illustrated by Sandon and Spero, The Zorensky Collection (1996), no.453.
