ENGLISH POTTERY TRANSFER-PRINTED AND ENAMELLED JUG 20TH CENTURY

In early 19th-century Liverpool style, printed on the other side with THE SHIPWRIGHT'S ARMS, inscribed JAMES LEECH in a wreath beneath the spout.

A similar example printed with the 'Ship Caroline' is illustrated in David Hewett, "The Caroline Problem", Maine Antique Digest, April 1996, p. 11-A, where the author discusses several examples with the same designs and inscriptions as being fakes and refers to Robert McCauley's cautious note in Liverpool Transfer Designs on Anglo-American Pottery published in 1942: "Another modern imitation of an old marine decorated Liverpool jug...is a large jug in sizes from 8 1/2 to 11 inches high decorated in black transfer on one side with 'The Shipwright's Arms' and on the other side with a ship...entitled 'Ship Caroline'..", found on p. 137.
