A really lovely Early 19th Century Antique Georgian Pottery "Hydra" jug of octagonal form, the shape first introduced by Mason's, { who gave the shape it's name }, earlier in the century and subsequently widely copied by rival potters. This one decorated in the "Gaudy Welsh" manner with tendrils and peonies in a palette of iron red and cobalt blue heightened with gilding, little of which now remains. A simple piece imbued with "old fashioned" charm. No Maker's mark, but the base with painted numeral 55 in red.
