Here's a colourful whiteware masonic jug coming up for sale at Mellors and Kirk in Nottingham on December 10.
The catalogue description reads: "Finely painted in sepia with emblems and inscribed Thomas Garn 1831 flanked by pluck & dust prints painted in bright enamels of romantic scenes beneath a wide border of flowers and leaves, the handle, lip and rims picked out in brown enamel, 17.5cm h, 1831. ++ Descending crack in the rim, one or two flat surface grazes around the rim but in good overall condition, no restoration."
The estimate is between 200 and 300 pounds.
