Ballantine’s “The Superb Scotch” Water Jug (Wade England)

Ballantine’s “The Superb Scotch” Advertising Water Jug
A classic ceramic bar-top advertising jug promoting Ballantine’s blended Scotch Whisky. Produced by Wade, England — a respected name in branded pubware — and supplied to hotels, pubs and bottle shops through the mid-20th century.

White glaze with crisp typography and the Ballantine’s heraldic crest. Perfect for the home bar, whisky shelf, man-cave, retro barbershop, or mid-century décor.

Originally used to serve water alongside whisky, these jugs are now strongly collected worldwide.
