This is a very rare example of black basalt from the Georgian period. It was made by John Yates of Shelton Hanley England. Although it is unsigned it has the exact same design of handle as the piece shown in the Illustrated Encyclopedia of British Pottery and Porcelain authored by Geoffrey A. Godden FRSA, Bonanza Books Edition, NY.

John Yates worked from 1784 to1835. By the shape of this jug, I date it between 1810 and 1825. This jug is in perfect condition with no chips, cracks nor repairs. It does have years of soap residue in the fine design and needs a long soak.

Size: It is 5" from spout to handle and 4 " to top of handle.
