Notes
This jug was made in Fez, an important centre for Moroccan pottery, where professional male potters created decorative tableware for urban consumers. It was acquired by George Maw, founder of Maw & Co., a British manufacturer of ceramic tiles. Maw initially donated the jug to the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, London but in 1901 most of the Museum's ceramic holdings were transferred to the South Kensington Museum (later V&A), including this item.
