Mackie & Co / Distillers / Glasgow & Islay / The Islay Blend / Registered / (Greyhound) / Whisky. Impressed stamp under base: Port-Dundas / Glasgow / Pottery Coy. (United Kingdom). Spirits. Whisky/Whiskey. Large handled stoneware jug. Tan top. Black print. Half Gallon 265 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7). 15 x 18 mm slice chip to front left outer lip has been repaired. Tiny glaze flake to rear lower lip. 8 x 5 mm flake to front right base edge, immediately under this is a similar sized chip that looks like a potters pull from making. One or two other little glaze flakes and spots of wear to base edge. Some minor spots of surface wear and light scratches to be found. Great print, feels a little impressed as well as printed, it is quite tactile. A very sought after jug in this large size, the lip repair is relatively small and a sympathetic job making this a great candidate for anyone's whisky collection.. Estimate: $750-1000
