Pearlware pottery jug printed with British proverbs, circa 1820

“EVERY COCK ON HIS OWN DUNGHILL” means people feel proud and in charge in their own area. The print infers that even a black person has these privileges. It would be unthinkable to express this view today.

“CUSTOM IS SECOND NATURE” another proverb with roots in Cicero.
