John Marston
A rare set of three matching brass jugs by the sought-after maker John Marston, each has a capacity of 2 pints and are all watertight.
Marston was born in 1836 and as a young man was apprenticed to Richard Perry, Son & Co who were known users of Dresser’s inspired design work. In 1871 upon the death of his employer, Marston bought the business at Jeddo Works, Wolverhampton and in 1877 extended the works into Paul Street. Around this time Marston moved from japanning and enamelling into the business of brass and copper manufacture, which he sold in 1902.
