Eglinton ~ Stone
The size "6" jug is 240mm tall, 194mm from lip to handle, and 163mm broad. Stone coloured earthenware.
The impressed mark reads: "Published by / W. RIDGWAY, SON, & Co. / HANLEY, / September 1, 1840".
The impressed "6" is the number in a potter's dozen, indicating a large jug. The impressed circle is probably a tally mark.
