    Hi
    Can anyone help me with this?
    My Grandmother found a Doulton Lambeth jug in the field at the back of her house a few weeks ago, she's doesn't know how it got
    there but after a quick wash we found the jug to be in mint condition, save for a small chip on the lip of it.
    The photos below are not of the exact jug we found but that is exactly what it looks like. It is also inscribed with C.T.S.A.
    Can anyone direct me as to where I may find out more info on it ans to its use (I'm guessing Whiskey) and it's age.

    Thanks

    Its a pretty run of the mill item i'm afraid.

    Stoneware jugs like this were very common throughout the victorian period right the way up to the 1930's.

    They could have contained any number of products from ink to bleach,washing soda etc etc.

    Jugs like this commonly held rum or other spirits that were purchased from a wholesaler or distillery.

    The CTSA stand for "Consumer & Trading Society Association" so your jug probably dates from the late 1800's.
