these, (photo’s 34 – 36) two with the MacDonald & MacKintosh name, and the third one
which carried the name of D. & J. MacEwen.

Finally, we have the elusive green-topped variations, (photo’s 37 & 38) which were
produced carrying both the Sterlini and Clan Chattan names. We are left to speculate why
they were produced in this format as, apart from the colour change there was also a shape
change too, with these ones being flat-sided. Note too that they do not carry the owner’s
name, nor do they have a strength statement. Were they for export? Were they perhaps a
customer special? Were they prototypes? Who knows, but they are the rarest of them all.

For the record, I am on the lookout for the Aberfoyle,
Callander and Crieff jugs without the strength
statement, and the Bridge of Allan jug with the
strength statement. I also need the Clan Chattan
green-topped version. If anyone has spares of any of
this quintet then I’m sure I can come up with a
suitable exchange.

That’s your lot till next time, so till then………………..
