With a tapered cylindrical body, this jug features a bold design based on New York tankards of a century (or more) earlier. The flat, stepped lid has a shaped front above the spout. A corkscrew style thumb piece attaches to a five knuckle hinge which continues into long beaded rattail decoration along the handle. The scroll handle retains two original ebony insulators and the terminus features a wonderful applied cherub's head http://www.spencermarks.com/items/h540.html
