Only one other jug bearing a royal portrait is recorded and is dated 1660, the year Charles II was restored to the throne. The present jug commemorates his marriage to Catherine of Braganza in 1662. After a proxy marriage in Portugal on 23 April, Catherine arrived at Portsmouth a few weeks later and in May, the royal couple were married in two ceremonies, a secret Catholic ceremony and a public Anglican ceremony on 21 May.
