Photo 16 is another image from the
same christening, and includes the
queen, queen mother, Charles,
Diana, William and Harry.

All of these jugs/books are 5cl in
size and contain Rutherford’s
Scotch whisky bottled at 40%vol.

I’ve decided to deviate slightly from
ceramics with my whisky company
profile this time, and instead give
you the lowdown on a firm that
started out as grocers early in the
th
19 century before moving into the
whisky trade, and ultimately producing a plethora of miniature stoneware decanters
containing their Sterlini Scotch whisky. They also produced bulk-size stoneware jugs as
well as glass bottles, but for this article we will concentrate only on the wee jugs.
