The New York Historical Society Museum has a jug with the same print from The Dr. Arthur H. Merritt Collection of Anglo-American Historical Staffordshire( ref # 1961.304). See https://emuseum.nyhistory.org/objects/36421/pitcher-peace-plenty-and-independence.
See Ronald W. Fuchs II who writes about a loan exhibition titled Peace, Plenty, and Independence: Selections from a Collection of English Ceramics made for the American Market, 1770-182, at the Delaware Show,
"The inscription on this jug, "PEACE, PLENTY AND INDEPENDENCE," symbolized the hopes and dreams of the citizens of the new United States. Its simple but eloquent message is reinforced by the figures of Peace, destroying the tools of war, and Plenty, holding a cornucopia. They flank the central medallion that is surmounted by a cannon and an American eagle, representing the military might that helped win independence.
Eagles, flags, and patriotic slogans were among the most popular emblems to appear on ceramics made specifically for the American market"
