earthenware with transfer-printed and gilt decoration. Released after the end
of the Napoleonic wars, when Europe first glimpsed the might of the Cossacks.
The motif depicts Russian Cossacks, armed with pikes, charging through the
scenery on horseback as they do battle. Composed in the style of Russian
artist Aleksander Orłowski. Identical jug can be found in the Victoria
and Albert Museum, London
