The flag of the United States and the coat of arms of the United Kingdom adorn this pitcher, along with a ribbon inscribed “Europe and America are united by telegraph glory to God in the highest on Earth peace goodwill towards men.” The text and the cable motifs on the sides and handle refer to the first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable, laid between England and America in 1866, which this jug commemorates.
