Otter Hound character jug - Lancaster and Sandland circa 1940

Otter Hound character jug produced by Lancaster and Sandland of Hanley, England, circa 1940. The otter hound is an English scent hound dog breed. The otter hound can be traced back as a distinct breed as far as the early 1800s. The otter hound is a large, rough coated, and straight limbed dog. The head is deep but not wide with the rough coat giving it a beard or moustache of sorts. The nose is wide. The eyes are deep set with the haw only slightly showing.
The ears are long and pendulous, they roll inwards as to create a 'drape' appearance. The otter hound's tail curls up to form the handle of the jug.
