The Jug stands on a domed circular foot decorated with reeding and beading. The tall baluster shaped body rises to an everted rim and the cast "sparrow beak" spout has a pendant drop below. This piece has a scroll handle and is very well marked in the foot. This is the first time we have seen a beaded sparrow beak jug and this was made in the workshops of the rare silversmiths, Thomas and Richard Payne. The Jug is in excellent condition.
