Impressed with Lehew mark with backwards S's under one handle, along with a two-gallon capacity. Strong decoration, desirable form, and rare size. Spidering lines on exterior and underside, not visible on interior. Crazing to shoulder and thin lines in spout. Some other short lines from rim. It appears that given the nature of these flaws, many of them occurred in the firing. Rim chips. H 6" ; Diameter 12 1/2".
