Jug
Pratt ware jug with moulded decoration in relief. On one side is a profile portrait representing Admiral of the Fleet, Adam Duncan (1731-1804) 'ADMIRAL DUNCAN' inscribed on a ribbon across his shoulder. There is a single-masted ship to his left and right and dolphins in a green sea below, a flower sprig between them. On the other side of the jug are two female figures representing Peace and Plenty, one with a basket of flowers on her head and a wreath in her hand, the other holding a palm frond. A child sits on a grassy knoll to her right. The jug is painted in blue, ochre, green and brown. There is fruiting vine decoration around the neck, palm fronds around the base and the jug has blue lines around the rim and base.
