The jug is fully marked to the underside with the under-glazed special Great exhibition mark of 1851 with MASONS BANDANA WARE printed in black to the base. This mark is illustrated on page 125 of the book: Mason's The first Two Hundred Years by Gaye Blake Roberts. Overall a beautiful and distinctive Mason's ironstone Jug or Pitcher. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GREAT EXHIBITION , London 1851 The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, also known as the Great Exhibition or the Crystal Palace Exhibition, was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park, London, from 1 May to 15 October 1851.
