Jug, 8.5 inches tall. Brown transfer. No maker's mark, but this pattern is recorded as belonging to Henry Alcock & Co. The pattern consists of four cartouches, three round, and one square. The three round cartouches are infilled with various floral images, while the square one, with two corners clipped, is divided diagonally with a Greek key band. On either side of the band are simple floral images. Behind the cartouches are two stems of delicate flowers. The thin border at the neck of the jug is a simple vine with small buds.

The firm of Henry Alcock was started in 1861 at the Elder Pottery in Cobridge formerly operated by John Alcock. General earthenware was produced, including white graniteware produced under the names “Ironstone China” and “Parisian porcelain” exclusively for the American markets. The firm continued at Cobridge until 1910 when the Clarence Works at Stoke were engaged. The firm then continued at Stoke under the name 'The Henry Alcock Pottery' until 1935.
