An Illustrated Guide to British Jugs
From Medieval Times to the Twentieth Century
by R.K. Henrywood

With over 800 illustrations, this book is an invaluable reference for all collectors, dealers and enthusiasts as the author discusses techniques used for these decorative jugs. Jug collectors, and there are many of them, have general books to refer to, but the few specialist volumes available are either of poor quality or cover only specific wares. This extensively illustrated volume covers all decent-sized everyday serving jugs, which were predominantly made in earthenware or stoneware, and features all decorative techniques, including two good chapters on transfer printing. This book was given the Literati Club's 1998 Award for Excellence for the best specialist reference title.
