Buff earthenware covered with very shiny tin-glaze, and painted in blue, green, yellow, and red. The jug has a bulbous body on a disk foot which is concave underneath. The body contracts into a short cylindrical neck with a wide mouth and pointed lip. The handle is vertically grooved on the exterior and has a V-shaped terminal. The widest part of the body is decorated with four oval compartments reserved in a blue ground. One contains the initials and date ‘’N S/1707’ within a red scroll border. The other three are filled with stylized flowers and foliage. Below there is a border of squat anthemion-like motifs. The shoulder is decorated with three pairs of horizontal lines, above which on the neck there are vertical leaves. The back of the handle is decorated with alternating blue circles and horizontal red lines.

The colouring was probably influenced by late 17th or early 18th century Japanese Imari porcelain. The design is unusual, and it has not been possible to associate it with a particular area or pottery. At the date of production it could have been made in London, or at Bristol or Brislington.
