This was followed by parian version (model no. 334), then a single-coloured stoneware version in pale buff (model no. 335) and in a reddish-brown terracotta (model no. 336). It was illustrated in the Journal of Design and Manufactures in December 1849, when it was described as &#8216;made in more than one material and of several colours&#8217;.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>334 &#8211; The Two Drivers Jug<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"Minton 334 The Two Drivers Jug Parian","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":518,"height":518,"file":"2026\/08\/Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian.jpeg","filesize":102388,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian-300x300.jpeg","width":300,"height":300,"filesize":12354,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian-300x300.jpeg"},"store-thumb":{"file":"Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian-518x450.jpeg","width":518,"height":450,"filesize":27641,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian-518x450.jpeg"},"pop-thumb":{"file":"Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian-518x340.jpeg","width":518,"height":340,"filesize":22014,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian-518x340.jpeg"},"full":{"file":"Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian.jpeg","width":518,"height":518,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian.jpeg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[],"alt":""}},"post":21956,"source_url":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian.jpeg","filename":"Minton-334-The-Two-Drivers-Jug-parian.jpeg","filesize":102388,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28264"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"page","id":21956,"href":"https:\/\/antiqueref.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
