Tall Banded Antique White Ironstone Jug by Green & Co

This is a rarely available tall banded white ironstone dairy jug dating from the 1930s, made by Green & Co.

These tall white banded ironstone pitchers are highly sought after and therefore difficult to source. This is understandable, given their simple & elegant appearance, and the versatility of their use around the home. Originally designed as dairy jugs, they also double up as wonderful flower vases, or rustic kitchen utensil storage. They also look stunning sitting on display.

The jug is in good clean condition. There is some light crazing all over, plus light staining and wear to the base rim. There is a small hairline on the top rim about 3cm in length, but this is tight and stable. The crazing is more notable in the base of the jug, where it has also stained through regular use.

This is a rare example to find and is a beautiful shape.

Height, 17.3cm; Width, 14.5cm (including handle and spout); Diameter of jug, 12.5cm at base; 11cm at base.
