Product Description:

This vintage Staffordshire Dog style jug/pitcher features a beautifully hand-painted blue floral pattern on a classic white ceramic body, capturing the essence of timeless British pottery. While originally designed as a jug/pitcher, it also serves perfectly as a vase, adding a touch of charm to any floral display. Unlike other similar jugs on the market, this piece carries the authentic Royale Stratford backstamp, guaranteeing the quality and care of its final finish. Royale Stratford, based in Stoke-on-Trent—the heart of England’s pottery industry—operated between 1997 and 2005, producing fine bone china items that have become increasingly rare and sought-after by collectors. This jug may even have a more intriguing history, as the lighter weight, finer crazing, and vintage appearance suggest it could have originated before Royale Stratford’s establishment, before being beautifully decorated and finished by the company. It’s a unique piece that perfectly blends vintage charm with a touch of floral elegance, making it a standout addition to any home decor or antique collection. Pair it with our matching cat-shaped jug by Royale Stratford to complete this charming animal duo.

Please note: This dog pitcher may not be watertight and could leak. We recommend using it as an ornament or with dried/artificial flowers if displaying it as a vase.
