Very happy that I finally got one of these - feeling absolutely shattered notwithstanding. Beautiful piece of mid-century Wedgwood, that harks back a couple of centuries further.

1959 cream Wedgwood jug with the Samuel Johnson quote, 'When a man is tired of London he is tired of life'.
I got one! Coincidentally displayed near a lustre ship jug, too, though again it's a C20th one.
