A large number of relief-moulded jugs are found with no maker's mark. Some are titled, but many are completely unmarked. A selection of jugs by unknown makers can be found here. News of other interesting unmarked jugs and particularly the discovery of any marked examples of these designs would be very welcome.

Some of the manufacturers of relief-moulded jugs attempted to protect their designs from being copied by the use of two Acts of Parliament dating from 1798 and 1814. The system required the wares to be marked in a specific way, following a fairly standard format which was dictated by the acts. Its first use on moulded jugs came in 1834, and the latest in the 1850s. The process hours which was fantastic. All the representatives I have spoken to over the last 6 months have always From 25 November 2019 the Trust will adopt a simple, traffic light system using coloured jug lids to monitor the amount that individuals are drinking across the day. This simple visual cue is an easy way for clinicians to see a patient’s fluid intake. Bell shaped high quality hybrid jug for professional Baristas. The spout design is taken from the Motta Classic pitcher but with improved quality, and the handle is the same as the Motta Europa jug to create a well built high quality product. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool and Waterlow pressure ulcer score were used to identify people who needed a red jug and mug as no hydration assessment tool was available.Designed to prevent cross contamination, these sleeves are available in four colours, and can be used to identify different types of milk. Easy to attach and clean. Our ward is a trauma and orthopaedic ward and we care for a large number of older people. In 2009, a staff nurse developed a poster about dehydration, which was seen by patients, relatives and staff. This led to a number of comments from relatives such as “my mother has got dry lips and a coated tongue”. These can range from constipation, pressure ulcers and also more serious issues such acute kidney injury, cardiac disease and venous thromboembolism (blood clot). for all its supplies and even larger equipment, the service we recieve is excellent and I would always Nursing staff at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) are set to implement a number of innovative measures to help patients stay hydrated – a major challenge for health professionals.

Project plan

Hollis S (2011) Using red jugs to improve hydration. Nursing Times; 107: 28, early online publication. Before introducing the scheme, we carried out an audit of hydration and found that 80% of our patients had a fluid balance chart, 66% had intravenous fluids documented and none had their fluid balance accurately documented. By a strange quirk of fate, in about 1982 John Steele at the Antique Collectors’ Club asked me to have a look at a manuscript about jugs he had received for possible publication. It was an interesting exercise but to cut a long story short, John and I eventually agreed that I should write a new book on jugs. That was the birth of my Relief-Moulded Jugs 1820-1900, published in 1984. I continued to collect jugs alongside blue and white wares, and these forays led to a more wide-ranging volume, An Illustrated Guide to British Jugs, published in 1997.

Reaching the green lid stage is significant to this as this shows the patient has drank 1500ml of water which reduces their risk of dehydration. Cindy Storer, Acting Deputy Director of Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals at DBTH, said: “Although such a simple concept, by visually monitoring the amount our patients are drinking we can substantially reduce dehydration within our wards. After four weeks, a repeat audit found: 100% of patients had fluid balance charts; and 100% had their oral fluids accurately documented. The number of patients on intravenous fluids has decreased from 66% to 25% suggesting that patients’ hydration had improved. When the patient has drunk their first jug, it will be refilled with fresh water - lid changed to amber.this morning and repaired the profiling bed. I would just like to say they were very efiecent and carried Introduced as part of the Trust’s ‘But First a Drink’ initiative earlier this month, colour-coded jugs are used as a simple visual cue to monitor a patient’s fluid intake. We get calls all the time from other companies wanting our business but I tell them that we would not even consider looking at other prices because the Customer Service we get currently is priceless!’’

Any patient tolerating less than 500ml a day orally was given a red jug and mug and patients assessed as having a poor fluid intake on admission were also considered for the project. A patient drinking preference sheet was devised so that staff knew what drinks patients liked. If nurses are concerned about patient’s water intake, such as if the red lid is still attached by the late afternoon, there are escalation processes to alert senior colleague for further action. Clinicians will also introduce a blue lid for patients with strict fluid restrictions. It has been immensely satisfying that this scheme has been accepted in many trusts in the UK, and also has garnered interest internationally.
