WORTHINGTON’S IN BOTTLE PUB JUG. 6.6ns tall. White bodied Worthington’s pub of tapering cylindrical form featuring dramatic multi-coloured transfer both sides depicting a large iconic Pale Ale bottle atop the globe, plus shield, & ‘By Appointment To His Majesty The King’ aside the bottle neck. Entire pictorial image surrounded by the claim ‘The World Supports/ Worthington’s/ In Bottle/ Oldest Burton Brewers.’ Much of the gold rim & to handle intact. Minton p.m. & other impressed marks to base. David Westott in his ‘famed’ pub jug book rated this jug as one of the most desirable in the world, it being considerably rarer than the equally famed Barnsley Brewery jug. Restuck flake near base to one side - easy to do so much better? All in all an exceptional & important offering which BBR has never had in 40 yrs. (8/10)
