More Information

The biscuit barrel has some fine crazing and the odd minor surface scratch. The pewter mounts are good.
The lidded jug has a hair crack to the base of the handle and fine crazing throughout. A bad crack at the neck joining midway through the body with a further neck crack. The mounts are good. The finial is replaced.
The remaining jug has fine crazing throughout. Pin prick glaze chips to the base and in our view there is some possible restoration around the foot rim. There is a slight bend to the pewter handle.
