Maker: Unattributed Maker  Pattern: Unidentified Pattern

A lovely large traditional tankard, holding a full quart of ale or cider. There is a beautiful broad floral border design round the neck, both inside and out, and the main scene is a rather Middle Eastern river scene, with a family in the foreground, fallen classical pillar to the left, ruin of a classical building to the right and hills with temples in the background. Despite extensive research we have not identified this pattern.
The glaze is crazed and has taken up some staining, especially internally and underneath. The foot rim has had a knock, which has left a partial unsprung chip and there is a small manufacturing fault in the glaze. Overall, though it is good condition and the glaze is bright.
No maker's backstamp, just a blue printed tiny divided circle mark.
