9" high, 5.5" base, creamy white jug with beautiful violet transfer prints of Masonic imagery--one figure appears to be George Washington! Highlighted with blue glazed floral sprays and piping along the lip. Deep violet print on one side features an oval with a seated figure in Masonic garb, surrounded by Masonic accoutrements and symbols; the large oval print on the opposite side features a skull, cherubs with wings top and bottom, Masonic motifs, and Latin phrases: "PULSANTI APPERIATOR SIT LUX ET LUX FUIT..." etc. A third oval violet print, positioned beneath the spout, features what appears to be a figure similar to George Washington, standing beneath an arch, surrounded by Masonic symbols. Very slight wear to blue glaze along the spout.
