Puzzle jug
- Description
-
Dated 1880 this Donyatt puzzle jug has three spouts to drink from. The body of the jug is inscribed: 'William Pardy, Lewiston House 1880, Fill Me Full'. As the name, drinking from the jug is a challenge. There are several perforations around the rim of the vessel which suggest it impossible to drink from. However, the trick is to suck from the spout which is linked to a tube which runs down the handle. There may be a secret hole within this tube which also requires blocking.
