Black Jack leather jug

An infrequent find... a Black Jack leather look beer jug from Royal Doulton.  Sterling silver collar, matte charcoal glaze with embossed stitch lines, wide base tapered upto a pitcher spout.   Takes about 1250ml of liquid.  Eye-catching just as it is, or filled with flowers, leaves, twigs.  Two small manufacture defects:  a clay drip mark of 10mm length*3mm width at base; dash of glaze defect on side.   Priced accordingly.   An auspicious present for someone perhaps?   Circa 1890.

Dimensions:  170 Base to handle diameter, 220 High
