The jug is from Clichy.
The white enamelled leaf decor can be seen on a suite of clear table glass with gilded rims on page 206 of La Cristallerie de Clichy (page not shown in online link unfortunately).

In 1883, the comte de Chambord died without children. As a result, some Legitimists recognized the House of Orléans as the heirs to the throne of France....'
