Featured Info on my little painted floral ?Staffordshire? jug/pitcher, please...

I thought this would look pretty on my windowsill with a little plant in it... but then figured I’d better check here first.
Am I correct in thinking it’s a small milk jug? It feels really old, but how old? I’m hoping to find out its age, its country of origin, maybe even the manufacturer if possible, as well as if it has any significant value before I use it as a plant pot, LOL.
The jug is about 4 inches or 9.5 cm tall and it does have condition issues, as you can see in the photos.
Thank you!
(I’m going to make some wild guesses and likely embarrass myself… English? 18th century? Minimal value due to condition issues?)

 

Hmmm, this Staffordshire pitcher has some stylistic similarities and is dated by the seller as 1820... probably due to the ladie's clothing. Thoughts, please?

 

Still talking to myself here...
I think I have a damaged piece of early 19th century Staffordshire pearlware of insignificant value. (Thankfully, I paid an insignificant price at a local thrift store.)
"Pearlwares seem to make their earliest appearance in the forms of blue and green edged decorated plates or platters, cups, saucers, bowls, and mugs decorated in blue chinoiseries or in floral motifs. Pearlwares are undoubtedly the most common ceramic item found on the sites of the early nineteenth century and can be distinguished from creamwares by the presence of a buildup of the bluish glaze in the crevices of the footrings and around handles, as well as the aforementioned bluish (or grayish) tinted glaze. The approximate date range for the production of pearlware is 1779-1840." (Info per THIS site.)
I can see a blue cast on the inside edge of the footring:

 

I agree - nice early nineteenth.

 

Don't worry, I do it all the time. Cute little jug, nice find.

 

I can't tell for sure but is that a silver (colored) trim?

This is from Henrywood's British Jugs book and is of similar shape and from the description (b&w photo) some of the color may be the same and is also engine-turned around the base. Unfortunately he doesn't show the handle which is something good for comparison. He also doesn't identify a maker.

I've also included his description of silver luster used on jugs and may not apply if yours isn't silvered.

 

Here is a similar one with damage that sold for $45 so may help with a value.

Wow, I didn't find that one and it is very similar! The painting on mine is in much better condition but that seller's example doesn't have a chipped rim like mine does. All in all, very good for an idea of value. Thank you!
The accent painting on mine is black, not silver (in answer to your previous post).
I've decided to plant a little succulent in mine.

 

Bear in mind that silver will turn black over time.

 

Lovely piece of early English pearlware. Dates to c1800-1820 I think. Not massively valuable. I would hope for £50 if selling it.

 

'Silver resist' on pottery is actually platinum, which is why you see the early 19th century ones that are still bright and shiny - silver was rarely used due to it going black over time!

 

AND that one on ebay ALSO had a crack in the handle!!

Never lift old ceramics by the handle.

 

If you put a succulent in it, stick a plastic bag in first or use a lift out pot.
