Masons Patent Ironstone China - Hydra Jugs

Mason's Patent Ironstone China 'Japan' Pattern Hydra Jug c1830

Once Mason's had developed their Ironstone China body, more elaborate shapes could now be fired at the lower earthenware temperatures. Hydra or octagonal jugs with snake handles were soon being produced in sizes ranging from tiny creamers to massive water pitchers. See my Mason's collection at Premier Antiques
