There is a little fairly minor wear and discolouration here and there and a possible hairline underneath the jug but this does not go through to the inside. Overall a lovely lovely piece.

Jug or Pitcher c1825
Attributed to John & Richard Riley of Burslem, Staffordshire active 1796-1828. A large, gorgeous jug or pitcher of elegant shape, made of white translucent porcelain, with gadroon or pie crust rims to neck and foot and decorated with a floral design in the Gaudy Welsh or Dutch style in Imari colours and gilt. The lovely rich blues, terracotta and gilt are enhanced by the intricate moulded flower decoration on both sides of the jug. It has fine all over crazing, there are a couple of firing cracks to the lower spur on the handle and a small glazing blemish to the body. Sounds much worse than it looks this is a really wonderful jug.
A similar jug may be seen in The Potteries Museum, Stoke on Trent and is illustrated in "An Illustrated Encyclopedia of British Pottery and Porcelain" by Geoffrey Godden on page 278 plate 486.
Dimensions: 22 cm high, 1.8 ltr / 8.5 ins high, 3 pint

Just a minor knock to the foot and fine crazing to the glaze, otherwise absolutely wonderful and rare to find a jug this large in such excellent condition.
No maker's backstamp, but red script pattern number 177 on base.
