A lovely classic Art Deco shaped Jug from Crown Ducal, designed by Charlotte Rhead. Decorated in the Ankara pattern this charger bears Crown Ducal backstamp, the pattern number 5983 (Ankara) and the tubeliners initial L. The backstamp dates the jug to the 1940's.
The jug stands 14.5cm tall (just under 6 inches) with a maximum width (to the extremity of the handle) of 10cm. The decoration is in excellent condition, though as is normal with this type of lustre glaze there are areas where the glaze is slightly transparent, particularly with the green banding.
