Sheep, cows, abbey ruins, incredible borders. It doesn’t get any better than this.
Spectacular condition with a touch of discoloration inside the bottom of the jug. Evidently locked in a cabinet for almost 200 years. Serving pieces of this quality don't come along often, and the contrast and composition is especially beautiful in this rich brown color.
