Description: History: These were made large size only of blue dyed clay and clear glazed. These were mould lettered also white highlighted by hand before final glazing with; ‘Plymouth Gin The Spirit of the West’ or ‘ The Spirit of England’ spread from fish gills to base of the pot. A few can be found lettered with ‘For a Plymouth Man’ and are scarcer, possibly because they were made for a sales promotion that may have been run only in the USA. These jugs are believed to have been made from the 1950’s, and started during the period when ceramic colours were still restricted after the war, hence the use of blue dye in the white clay. Other Plymouth Gin large size Gurgle Fish jugs were made of white clay and covered in a blue glaze. These were produced later and are mould lettered only around the gills. Some jugs have been seen in other colours mainly green but also brown and were produced between 1970 – 2000. Similar jugs were made in various colours for several Scotch whisky distillers notably: Old Rarity Scotch, Ambassador Scotch and Gorrill’s. The jug is in great condition with no chips or cracks, but please ask for additional pictures before purchasing if needed. Items are usually shipped the following day and insured!
