A finely patinated, straight sided and banded pewter Tavern Jug with spout, turned rim, and 'strap' style handle and thumb-piece, all on a heavy ogee-moulded and double-banded base. Hand inscribed by it's historic owner the jug records one 'E. Wood' of the Scotts Arms on Hermitage Bridge in Wapping in the old Docks of London. The Scotts Arms public house was run by a Mrs Elizabeth Wood between 1834 and 1861 and prospered for many years before its demolition in 2004. A single, faded, Verification Mark, combined with the shape and profile of the vessel itself would also tend to date it to the early middle part of the Nineteenth Century. The Capacity Mark indicates a true Pint measure.
