A large creamware jug c.1800
A large creamware jug c.1800, painted in sepia, to one side with an anchor within a floral garland above the Isle of Man triskelion encircled by 'Quocunque ieceris stabit', the other side with a lion attitude within a shield beneath a stag crest and the motto 'Will God and I Shall', beneath the spout inscribed 'EEK' within a circular flower border, hairline cracks, a little restoration, 36.2cm.
The motto may relate to the Ashburnham family of West Sussex, who were linked by marriage to the Stanley family on the Isle of Man.
