I t was produced in the first few years of the 20th C. The cork, which is attached to the handle by way of a silver chain, bears hallmarks for 1906 and the marks for George Betjemann & Sons (G B & SONS – badly worn but still decipherable) The body of the jug is ovoid in form with a loop handle. The spout is formed of the face of the nightwatchman which bears a striking resemblance to the personality of’Old Charley’ used in their character jugs.
