Dryad Metal Works – Copper Jug – stock #25012

A fine example of arts and crafts metal work from the Dryad Metal Works. This is shape number 385; an unusual form as jugs and ewer are rarely seen although the bowls are relatively common. Their designer was William H Pick, who almost certainly designed this example.

The copper body and lid are finely spun with a clever cast brass hinge/handle that is both a lever and stop for the lid. The handle has it’s original cane insulation, another specialty of the Dryad Workshops.

Size	Marks	Condition
27cm high 14cm diameter	Stamped “Dryad Lester 385″	Generally very good. NO breaks or reapirs. Some indents and scratches, mainly to one side. Wear to knob
