TickiT 73103 Translucent Colour Jug Set, 77 mm Dia, 6 Pieces, Translucent

Product Information

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. If an employee is unclear which chemicals are in the containers or what areas of the facility the containers have resided in, the risk of chemical accidents and cross-contamination greatly increases. A healthcare assistant suggested that we could use a model based on the red tray project (Bradley and Rees, 2003), which is used in the trust to ensure patients are nourished. A number of relief-moulded jugs are found which are extensively coloured, not just with coloured backgrounds or small amounts of colouring to pick out the moulding. I went away from that visit but soon found myself picking up occasional jugs at antiques fairs and markets, eventually becoming hooked.

These sleeves are available in four colours and are useful for quickly identifying different types of milk to help prevent cross contamination. When the patient has drunk their first jug, it will be refilled with fresh water - lid changed to amber. It should serves as an index which will be updated as new manufacturers and their jugs are added, becoming more comprehensive in due course. Comments, criticisms, brickbats, suggestions and new information and/or images would all be gratefully received. I would be delighted to receive comments, compliments or brick-bats, and particularly future contributions, be they information or images.The challenge now is to continue to deliver high standards of care and to continue to listen to ideas and empower staff because, as this scheme has demonstrated, sometimes the simplest ideas have the biggest impact on patient care. 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.

Jugs - Reynardine Henrywood – Relief-Moulded Jugs - Reynardine

Most are coloured versions of jugs normally found in plain stoneware or parian, but a few are always coloured. The choices include elegant glass options to match your glassware, individually made by skilled craftspeople and durable plastic jugs ideal for ice-cold refreshments.

At the time of writing this site now covers well over 400 different jug designs, nearly 90% illustrated, and there are over 560 images of jugs plus a further 250 images of marks, source prints and other related items. With around 45% of patients becoming dehydrated during an inpatient stay, it is known to slow recovery and make patients more sustainable to issues such as; constipation, pressure ulcers, acute kidney injury, cardiac disease and venous thromboembolism. These can range from constipation, pressure ulcers and also more serious issues such acute kidney injury, cardiac disease and venous thromboembolism (blood clot). By ensuring that inpatients drink enough throughout their time in hospital, there is an association that drinking plenty of water and fluids aids recovery.

Simple measures: improving hydration in patients (DBTH)

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. 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.This led to a number of comments from relatives such as “my mother has got dry lips and a coated tongue”. These marks are covered in detail elsewhere and the reader is recommended particularly to the two Cushion mark books (Cushion H and Cushion P) or Godden's Handbook (Godden NH) for more detail. 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. A group of stonewares, mostly with moulded bodies enhanced with sprigged decoration, are marked "Imperial Stone" on applied pad marks which usually feature a model or design number.
