Vintage 1850s English XL Ironstone Double Handled Dairy Jug Emma Bridgewater evocative photographyA magnificent example of the practical craftsmanship found on English farms. Its generous size was designed to hold large quantities of fresh milk, while the second handle and integrated thumb rest provided added stability for the weight of a full vessel, allowing for steadier pouring. Crafted in durable ironstone to withstand daily use, it carries the character and utility of 19th century dairy life.
