About MeDevonware souvenir jug with a colourful cockerel crowing 'Good Morning'. Dating to the 19th century these jugs were popular cheery breakfast table items - many also had little rhymes to spur the breakfaster into action. This one says:Little duties still put off
Will end in never done
By-and-by is soon enough
Has ruined many a one.
