A jug decorated with bands and splashes of pink lustre and hand-coloured, black transfer prints. On one side, a portrait of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) between red ensigns with ships in the background, the whole surmounted by a figure of Fame. The portrait is accompanied by a verse: 'The Briton mourn, what else can Britons do/When bleeding Nelson rises to her view/Still is there cause for Triumph when she shews/The captured colours of our vanquish'd foes/And greater still when FAME was heard to say./All, all were Nelson's on that glorious DAY'. On the other side of the jug, a depiction of an iron bridge over the Wear: 'A South East View/of the Iron Bridge over the/Wear near Sunderland. Foundati/on stone laid by R. Burdon Esq./Sepr 24th 1793. Opend Augt/9th 1796./Nil Desperandum Auspice Deo.', 'Cast Iron 214/wrought 46 tons', 'Height 100/Span 236 feet', 'J. PHILLIPS, HYLTON POTTERY'. Under the lip is a transfer of a brig, and a verse within garlands: 'My Ship is moored,/My wages paid/So let me haste/Unto my Maid.', 'DIXON & CO SUNDERLAND POTTERY.'
