Jug — History & Facts
The neck of the jug is embellished with an angel bearing the arms of England. The body is decorated twice with the arms of Salentin von Isenburg-Grenzau (Archbishop of Cologne) between two rampant lions. There does not seem to be any connection between the English and the Cologne coats of arms; the potter simply used the templates available to him in the workshop.
