This particular excellent New Hall jug, is called a 'silver shaped' jug as it was copying the then fashionable shape of jugs made in solid silver, which gives this jug a complex and very pleasing shape. The decoration of the jug is in coloured enamels, with patterns popular on Chinese Export porcelain coming to England at that time.

There is a charming spray of coloured flowers in a vase painted on the sides of the jug, with a few green leaves dotted about.

On the other side of the jug is a single painted pink rose bud, with again some green leaves dotted about.
