Excellent Quality Condition. This porcelain or ceramic demijon was used to store British Royal Navy Rum (108.6-proof) from the very early 1900s thru the 1970s. This particular demijon has a rare manufacturers imprint stamped into the porcelain: "Pearson & Co Chesterfield" a major manufacturer of pottery in the UK. The spirit or rum was mixed with water and lime juice to create what is known as "Navy Grog" and served daily to the enlisted ratings. |

This jar can be easily cleaned out to be put back into service, and then have raw rum poured back in with a new cork for storing and to simulate the tradition from days of old and a bygone era! |
