Sunderland China Jug circa 1786-1850
Classification:- Jug
Description
On left side:-
The verse Friendship, Love and Truth in floral border.
When Friendship Love & Truth abound
Among a band of brothers
The cup of joy goes gently round
Each shares the bliss of others
Sweet roses grace the thorny way
Along this vale of sorrow
The flowers that shed their leaves today
Shall bloom again tomorrow
How grand in age how fair in youth
Are holy Friendship Love & Truth
In centre under spout:-
Verse in floral border
"Let Masonry from Pole to Pole
Her sacred laws expand,
Far as the mighty waters roll,
To wash remotest land:
That virtue has not left mankind,
