Additional Information

1. Design & Features
- Sacrifice Scene Relief: A detailed neoclassical frieze showing attendants presenting offerings at an altar crowned by Cupid — one of Wedgwood’s most recognisable and frequently repeated motifs.
- Grapevine Border: The upper rim is framed by a delicate trail of grapes and leaves, adding movement and texture to the cylindrical form.
- Matte Jasperware Exterior: Crafted in Wedgwood’s signature unglazed stoneware body, renowned for its smooth, almost velvety surface.
- Functional Form: The jug follows a traditional English silhouette with a strong handle and a gently flared rim for easy pouring.

2. Craftsmanship
- Each relief element is applied by hand, a hallmark of authentic Jasperware production — every figure, fold of drapery, and vine leaf placed individually before firing.
- The interior is glazed, as Wedgwood intended for jugs, ensuring durability and practicality.
- This juxtaposition of matte and gloss surfaces highlights the technical mastery behind the piece.

3. Uses & Versatility
- A striking decorative accent for a mantle, dresser, or curated shelf
- Beautiful as a small flower vessel for simple stems or greenery
- Ideal for collectors assembling a classical Jasperware grouping
- A timeless gifting piece for lovers of neoclassical or British ceramics
