LEEDS POTTERY. 
63 
The Lord Nelson jug with a bust of the hero on one side, and a 
picture of the “Victory’" in full sail on the other, on the front the 
Admiral’s various titles. 
The famous Toby jugs were also made at Leeds, as they were at 
many other potteries, representing a stout, fatdegged, jovial old 
fellow, bearing in one hand resting upon his knee, a jug or pot of 
foaming ale, and in the other a long clay pipe. 
Mr. Hurst has a jug finely painted with bright plumaged birds, 
the spout of which represents the face and neck of the god or deity 
of the river Aire. 
Electioneering, masonic, and many other jugs were made as 
well. Mr. George Hill, of Thornton Dale, has a very fine Lord 
Macaulay jug. 
Fig. 54. Leech Jar. Dr. J. L. Kirk’s Collection. 
A fine leech jar is in the possession of Dr. J. L. Kirk, Hungate 
Hall, Pickering. It is in cream ware, ornamented with dark red, 
two handles and perforated cover. Height n inches, with the 
word LEECHES upon it. Apothecaries’ jars or drug pots were 
also made here. 
Mr. Hurst has the centre part of a jelly mould, well painted 
with various fruits on either side, so that when brought on to the 
table in the midst of the clear transparent jelly the decorations 
would show through.
