    Looks like the guy on the spout has goat's horns, so Pan or a satyr.

    It's usually Bacchus on a jug - connection with drinking.

    A gryphon is a mythological creature with the body of a lion and head and wings of an eagle.

    You have a lion.

    Satyrs are part of Bacchus' revel rout & very much associated with drinking & drunkenness.

    All good my end,lovely Cuz.

    Waiting for new keyboard as only half of this one works,no upper anything except capital letters on lock. SO ANNOYING, hope it comes tomorrow and ... yes,as per, it WAS a cat's fault. My Feefs dribbled on it and must have been a particularly potent dribble as it made my board short out. xxx
    Hope all well with you too, as ever xxx
