Purchasing information-
The jug appears quite tarnished throughout and would benefit from a clean and polish. General surface wear, marks and scratches. There is a shallow dent to the main body and a few further minor dints. Also a couple of slight knocks to the foot rim. The main rim appears a little out of shape and there appears to be a seam repair. The hallmarks are located to the underside of the jug, there is some rubbing and the maker's mark is partly distorted but mostly clear and legible. In addition to the hallmarks, it is also engraved 'P' above 'P M'.
