This is a stunning large antique Victorian brown transfer ware jug known as the aesthetic movement depicting herons amongst the reeds. This truly is a great statement piece with a beautiful design. There is some gilding around the foot and the top of the jug which is slightly worn in places. There is a small crack on the bottom of the foot and 2 cracks inside the vase which look a cross. The cracks inside the vase are only superficial as they do not come through to the front of the piece see photos. There is no other damage to the item and no crazing there was probably a basin that went with it at one time. There are some marks on the bottom which I haven’t been able to identify but it looks similar to Minton pieces. An amazing survivor which would look fabulous in any home decor setting.
