Here's a pic of it. I'd like to sell it and was wondering how much is it worth and if it's just a reproduction? As I've said before it has no markings on it.

There are lots of reproductions around of these bowls and jugs, which were intended for washing in the days before en suites, or even running water from a tap, come to that! It’s hard to give a valuation without seeing it – send me a picture and I’ll see what I can do. Without markings of any kind, it was made probably by one of the countless Staffordshire Potteries companies, but they are decorative and nice to have.

I did not mention the jug is 10 and 3 quarter inch high.

It’s not easy giving valuations on things I can’t see and you don’t say how big the jug is. The damage is a problem, but I suspect you would be asked to pay around £30-40 for it by a dealer.

I have a beige coloured jug by ridgeway dated 1 October, 1835 astamped on bottom. There are raised bullrushes and long leaves on jug. It has elaborate handle with leaves also. It has a half inch linear chip on the top edge, but this is not obvious and would not be noticed unless picked up and examined. I would much appreciate an idea of what it is worth. Sheila Nicholls

I purchased one of these at a flea market a few years ago. It has a bowl that it sits in and no markings at all. It’s also blue and white in color. It has every detail as this one and I was just wondering if there was a lot of reproductions of these? What is it worth?
