Q: I have a metal jug, possibly pewter, marked on the base with the name Tudric. It is about seven inches high and has embossed fish on it. Can you tell me anything about it, and a possible value?

Mrs N.

A. Tudric was a brand name sold by the famous London store, Liberty. This jug would date from about 1900-1910 and was part of a range of items reflecting the then fashionable Art Nouveau style, which had spread to the UK from France, but which faded away at the onset of the First World War. This jug, in nice condition, would be worth £200-£250.
