This is a fairly dull subject with little research found anywhere, very few Ale Jugs are found for sale, they sell inexpensively, are rarely collected, and about which there is very little information.
However they are really a quite handsome piece of everyday pewter used to serve the thousands of social tavern drinkers mainly in the 1800s era of Victorian prosperity (though starting in this form, likely in Georgian times – George III perhaps).
