A RADIOACTIVE PUZZLE JUG

This jug was made by the famous Devon potter William Baron.

It has the traditional scraffito message:

"This Jug was made to try your skill

Drink if you can, but do not spill".

The maker did not realize that the Uranium glaze which he used to get the interesting orange finish is dangerously radioactive. At 200 counts per second it makes our Geiger Counter have hysterics!
