Masons Patent Ironstone China large jug or pitcher, really more of a ewer, decorated in a traditional Japanese inspired design, which is sometimes known simply by the name Japan. Octagonal, with a magnificent serpent handle, this a Masons favourite known as Hydra or Antique shape.
In excellent condition, with only a few signs of use and wear, which are perhaps to be expected after 175 years.

The backstamps and use of the words Granite China suggest that this jug was made during the C J Mason & Co period, dating from about 1830.
