Flagon type decanter, think for whisky or moonshine - could even be rum as it has a nautical / military theme. Natural stoneware beige colour glazed bottom section with cobalt blue top upper glaze. Single handle with pouring spout on opposite side. Cobalt blue glazed stopper with natural cork, 1/2 of which is broken off in the decanter. Still a tight fit the 1/2" cork that's left. Approx. 8" high x base diameter just under 5". Base is unglazed with a seam down the middle. Under glaze photographs of a young boy (gunpowder monkey?) either carrying pails of water or more likely gunpowder? See photos. Middle photo of sailor with a cat 'o nine tails whip wearing top hat with the word 'Victory' above a coat of arms or similar. Main photograph or picture is of a soldier wearing a white bandolier and stuffing a long muzzle loaded musket with a ramrod. One chip approx. pinhead size on side of pouring spout, couple of sharp points (from manufacturing) and the blue glaze has bled down on either side of the handle approx. 1/4" but this could be intentional as they are both the same size and pattern. Weighs over 750gm. Can only describe as I see it - an expert would know more & any questions please ask. Other photos can be provided. Please see my other / similar items - Happy to combine postage - up to 750gm all one price with the new postage
