Cream earthenware, thrown, with applied handle, lead-glazed very pale yellow, unevenly on the base, and painted in red and black enamels. The jug has a barrel-shaped body, curving outwards towards the base, and narrowing towards the rim, which has an inserted lip. The strap handle terminates in a large serrated leaf. On the front, painted in black is the inscription 'Iohn + Lockey/Moor, Mill,1772', framed by sprays of stylized foliage with two floral sprigs above on the lip. On either side there is an arrangement of flowers and foliage with one sprig below on one side, and two horizontal leaves on the other. Inside the rim there is a chain border in red enamel.
