A large hand painted copper cider or ale jug, signed J Hill circa 1930
About the Item
This most unusual and highly decorative English copper cider or ale jug holds a full gallon and is stamped with this measure on the front.
The jug also has a lead maker's seal on its rim.
The unique feature of this lovely heavy copper jug is the brilliant hand painted scene of two chiffchaff (common and widespread leaf warblers) amongst trailing and flowering honeysuckle painted over a rich dark green background with great skill and detail.
This unique piece is signed and dated J Hill 1934.
This type of item is often referred to as a harvest jug and would have commonly been used to bring cool refreshments out to the farm labourers gathering in the late summer crops.
This superb example is in excellent original condition.
