The Government's forced marriage unit provided advice or support in 118 cases involving victims aged under 18 in 2021. As with all of our Museum quality replicas, this piece has been fired to achieve an authentic finish. Like the original it has been made with a series of internal tubes that allow the liquid to be drunk, similar to using a straw. Although very clever, it does mean that these tubes can be difficult to clear. As a result we suggest that you only use water in this jug as other beverages may be more difficult to clean out of the internal tubes. The jug must be completely dried out after use to avoid the growth of mould inside the internal tubes. DO NOT USE this jug if you are not 100% sure it has been cleaned and dried correctly. Taking a great deal of time and care to create, grand vessels such as these were probably made by Romano-British pottery as a demonstration of their mastery of this stunning pottery style. It may also be likely that such elaborate scenes were made as a special commission or for the most discerning of pottery enthusiasts. When choosing a colour variation, please be aware that the colour and mottling vary with each Venus due to the firing process, giving each one its own individual character. But we will select your Venus according to your preference.

The Ministry of Justice said the statistics showed forced marriage is more likely to impact girls than boys, with 2018 figures for England and Wales showing that 28 boys married under the age of 18 compared with 119 girls. Civil partnershipskilling some 30-45% of the population. This caused the end of the feudal system as lords had few peasants to rule over and had to pay them to farm their land; many peasants were able to We have faithfully replicated this magnificent vessel using barbotine slip decorating techniques that were used by Romano-British potters, who originally created this style of barbotine decorated, colour coated beaker. Although barbotine decoration was a popular technique for potters of this time, it would only have been a true master who was able to create scenes quite as complex as those shown in this beauty. As with all my Museum Quality Replicas, we have made this pot, as the original would have been, entirely by hand from natural clay and using replicas of the types of tool that the ancient makers would have used. As each pot varies, you may not receive the same cup in the image, but you can be sure that your pot will be one of a kind due to the variations caused by the firing process. The foundation of the new Iron Works at the turn of 1840 saw men come from all four corners of the kingdom to join in and become part of this newfound wealth and industrial boom, later followed by many of their families. These early years were a turbulent time of unrest especially between the English and Irish faction’s, religion playing no small part. There were many running battles throughout the years, some very famous like the Battle of the Blue Heaps, some not so.

This style of vessel is distinctive for its high burnish shine, which is achieved by painstakingly rubbing the vessel's surface with a smooth pebble or tool until a lustrous sheen is achieved. Having made the vessel shine, finely engraved decoration is applied using a carving tool and a steady hand.

Puzzle jugs are a lot of fun! The descendant of the earlier fuddling cup, they were particularly popular during the 18 th and 19 th century, although there are early examples from the Medieval period, and they still cause great amusement when presented to those not in the know.
