Original WWII British military stoneware rum flagon, clearly marked S.R.D. the designation used by the British armed forces on rum storage vessels during the Second World War.

Salt-glazed stoneware with brown glazed shoulder, complete with its original rope handle and cork stopper. Stamped to the base by Pearson & Co known for supplying utilitarian wares during the early–mid 20th century.

These flagons were used for the storage and distribution of military rum rations and are great pieces of wartime history.

Condition:

Honest vintage condition consistent with age and use. Please see photographs for full details.

It weighs 4.1kg and is 32cm tall. It is 17cm wide.

I will pack it very well. In view of its weight Royal Mail charge me £7.05 to send it. I don’t make any profits on my postal charges.

This will make a great display piece or a doorstop. I’ve used it as a doorstop for the past few weeks and it looks great.

I have given It a light clean and if I were keeping it I’d keep it that way but the new owner may wish to clean it further.
