A transfer-printed jug with a profile of Samuel Plimsoll (1824-98) on one side, and on the other a print of the Sailor's Return, all on a red ground, with decorative border to the jug. Both transfers are in scrolled cartouches, with roses, thistles and shamrock, an anchor and at the top the American stars and stripes and British Union flag, wrongly colored with a white St George's cross. The Plimsoll side is inscribed 'Plimsoll Sailors' Friend' and the other side, which shows a sailor embracing his lass, is inscribed: 'The Sailors Return'.
