Tankard - cf. John Chappell, New Zealand

Can't really see the mark but it looks stoneware rather than terracotta

that's the best pic i can get out of it... the mark is not that clear.. i will try and see if i can get a better pic later :)

looking at the base i'd thought it had a little bit of terracotta mix with stone ware

Mark looks like a windmill above a ploughed field - or am I imagining it?

Yes, it seems a windmill indeed, naomi!!!

thanks guy's i will see if i can get a better picture of the makers mark

looking at the texture of this jug how old would one think it is? any idea's welcome 1920 or even earlier? what origin is this jug from?

Doesn't looks English to me. If the mark is a windmill then it might be Dutch. Possibly Victorian or early 20th Century.

I thought I recognised this mark it was alongside the mark of John Chappel pot I had , so the mark is likely from Japan or N Zealand

thank you big ed that mark along side john chappel mark is pretty much the same, that brings me closer and closer to the marker.. i appreciate it thanks again

This maybe a New Zealand pottery. Same mark as the one on Ed's John Chappell pot.
The mark looks a bit like a stool with pots of flowers on it.

.... and she has never seen this mark before. It has an English look about it I reckon.

This is the John Chappell pot with the same Mark -

John Chappell was also at Coldharbour and Wilstone Potteries and not finding any examples online so it's possible it's one of those.

Edited to add, I asked the New Zealand group but they didn't recognise the mark
