Small copper lustreware jug with pink textured salt glaze body and rich copper upper. Likely Staffordshire, c. 1830s–50s. The shimmering lustre contrasts nicely with the gritty texture around the base, making it a great shelf or display piece.
There is a small chip to the spout and some glaze wear to the foot, consistent with age. A good example of 19th-century British decorative ceramics.
