Usually when we find a previously unidentified pattern here in the USA, it is something that was made for the British market, stayed in Britain, and was not noticed by American authors like Petra Williams who cataloged flow blue patterns. We rarely ever find a flow blue pattern that hasn't already been "discovered," particularly if it is a magnificent example of flow blue, as this jug certainly is. The shape of this jug is occasionally found in Britain but was more commonly exported to America. Its pattern matches none of the patterns in my references. Please forward this pattern to the manager of the FBICC Pattern Database.
