Place of origin

Part of a condiment set. Jug is basically cylindrical, curving in slightly to the unglazed foot ring. Ledge and flange at top, which is closed except for a circular opening placed off-centre. The glaze is slightly bluish green and this colour is more pronounced where the glaze accumulates in the frosted pattern, which is achieved by underglaze engraving.
