    Description

    This is a handsome piece of Churchilliana, an illustrated jug produced by Copeland/Spode in 1941.  This is the Bulldog export version made for the US market.
    On one side is a
    superb transfer decal, a cameo of Churchill, flanked with a warship, tank and fighter aircraft, under the May 1940 speech excerpt (slightly misquoted), ALL I CAN OFFER IS BLOOD, TOIL, TEARS AND SWEAT above a ribbon bearing Churchill’s remark about the RAF from August 1940: NEVER IN THE FIELD OF HUMAN CONFLICT WAS SO MUCH OWED BY SO MANY TO SO FEW.
    On the other side is a
    bulldog on a Union Flag bestriding a globe with the British Empire shown in dark color. Over and under the design is the February 1941 exchange of quotes between President Roosevelt, quoting Longfellow (SAIL ON, O SHIP OF STATE, etc.) and Churchill, replying over the radio (GIVE US THE TOOLS AND WE WILL FINISH THE JOB!)
    This pitcher is 6½" tall.
