Jug

Milk jug commemorating the Trafalgar centenary. It is made of stoneware, colour-glazed dark blue and has a brown rope twist handle. On each side is a pale green moulded medallion, one depicting Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805). 'LORD NELSON' is inscribed either side, on a pale blue panel with a brown rope twist border. The medallion on the other side depicts a warship with '1758-1805' inscribed either side. The rope borders form a knot under the lip and the handle. The Trafalgar signal 'ENGLAND . EXPECTS . EVERY . MAN . WILL . DO . HIS . DUTY' runs around the neck on a green band. The Royal Doulton mark is impressed on the base.
