Rare late 18th century slatglazed stoneware "grave diggers" jug for F.E.Shailer

Rare late 18th century slatglazed stoneware "grave diggers" jug for F.E.Shailer

Standing at 7 3/4" tall this elegant lug handled satlglazed jug has a central slab depicting a man digging along with the words “the sweet earth --- thy brave shall ----“ - difficult to decipher, however the opinion is that this slab depicts a grave digger - marked for F.E Shailor. One of a number of 17th, 18th and 19th century English saltglazed stoneware pieces that I will be selling over the next few months from a large and very significant collection. Please let me know if you are looking for a particular piece
