Glazed blood red over a white body leaving free the white details, it is decorated with a snake on the handle.
When I went to do research on this piece, I found it to be a real mystery. The snake handle and flowered body in this exact style, can be found on antique , English, James Dudson Stoneware jugs from The mid-Victorian era. This gothic ewer, is done in that style but stretched to a taller body and not made of the same material. Although the item is marked coalport, it is definitely not Coalport. It is however a very fancy pitcher, that would look fabulous in any production of Dracula, or any vampire related blood drinking event.
In excellent vintage condition it is without damage.
