I have a Staffordshire pottery jug dated 1820 with name of Thomas Capper painted on it and also the name of a gooseberry Top Sawyer and its weight 26 dwts 17 grs. I think this was probably given to Thomas Capper as a prize from a gooseberry show. Can anyone help me. I would like to find out more about gooseberry socieities.
