A white glazed pottery jug with green, red and black decoration.

Of the late 19th century comic strip character Ally Sloper, who was a bit of a drinker!

This would have been a cheap item when first made, so is crude, there are firing cracks around where the handle is attached, so much so you can see light through it!

Crazing to glaze, but no damage.
