Description
Water/whiskey pitcher in rich Kingsware glaze with night watchman in relief on one side. On the other side it reads: One's own opinion is never wrong.
The watchman was the precursor of the policeman. He patrolled the streets of the city at night carrying a lantern and staff, calling the state of the weather and the hour. The watchman was replaced by the 'peeler', the forerunner of the modern policeman in 1829. #police #watchman
