The exterior covered with relief moulded designs. Round the middle are two scenes: the first shows a man lighting his pipe before a fire while his dog looks on and behind him companions are drinking in an ale house; in the other, Tam o’Shanter rides though a wood, pursued by two flying figures, one of whom grasps the horse’s tail. The handle is moulded in the form of a hand clutching a horse’s tail. Ornate patterns run around the neck and foot: a wreath of thistle between rhe body and the neck and a leaf scroll beneath the neck rim. The outside is smear-glazed, the interior fully glazed and shiny. The underside is recessed and smear-glazed. object type: Buff coloured stoneware, relief moulded jug, smear glazed. title: jug NOTES ----- type: history note value: Bought on 15 December 1904, from Woolston, Cambridge, by Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: J.
