The S-scroll, foliate handle is green-glazed.

Colonial Williamsburg notes that naturalism was an important theme echoed in the decorative arts of the mid-eighteenth century. This fascination with nature was reflected in the types of ceramic wares produced throughout England. Staffordshire potters produced molded tea wares made to mimic the natural world including the coloration of tortoise shell, the look of agate stone, and many fruits and vegetables including cauliflower. This milk jug was made en suite with other cauliflower tea wares.
The green of the leaves was produced through the addition of copper oxide to the surface of the jug and the white of the florets is the natural color of the refined earthenware clay. The entire body is coated in a lead glaze.
