Lot 169: Two English Green Glazed Novelty Ceramic Jugs

Two English earthenware novelty jugs finished in translucent green glazes. The first jug is modelled in the form of a tied sack, featuring a textured surface resembling woven fabric with a drawstring cord and tassels rendered in relief around the neck, and a geometric zig-zag pattern around the base. The second jug is a larger tankard form featuring a handle modelled as a squirrel climbing a vertical tree trunk; the base of the body is decorated with oak leaves and a textured section representing moss or bark. The sack-form jug features an incised number 406 on the base and a faint, cursive mark that is not clearly legible as a name. The squirrel jug base is impressed with the number 1115 over the letter Z and is further marked with an impressed MADE IN ENGLAND.
