American Eagle Great Seal of the United States Jug

A large, impressive jug, or pitcher, as my American friends say. Featuring a large transfer of a US ship, in full sail, flying a large Stars & Stripes flag. On the reverse a pseudo coat of arms, loosely based on the arms of the Shipwrights Company, a London guild.

Beneath the spout,  a version of the Great Seal of the United States, showing 13 stars relevant to the number of states which formed the country only 20-30 years earlier. Awesome!

Circa 1800-10

Approx - 8 inches (200mm) tall.

In poor to fair condition having been professionally re-stuck at some point in its 200-210 year history.

For a similar jugs with the same transfers see: S Robert Teitelman Creamware for the American Market  pages 216 and 273
