Beautiful, very unusual English Royal Arms marked china wedding jug - I have never seen this color in porcelain of this type, I was not aware of any molded ironstone wares in colors!

There's no makers name on this piece that I could see, though the Royal Arms marking is quite early Victorian (with the dog styled lion, no center on the shield). The china is the classic blue associated with Wedgwood, though I would expect to find the Wedgwood mark on a piece from this period. It's English but I don't believe it's Wedgwood.

The pitcher has detailed molded grapes on the handle, stands about 8" tall. The design is printed in white on the blue - the medieval styled couple on one side, a classically styled Greek lady on the other.

Handle is cracked (and holding well, though has no obvious repairs). There's some discoloration and browning, and an old chip at the spout. It's almost 200 years old now, and looks good for it's age.
