Vintage English Earthenware Polychrome Large Toby Jug The Squire / Wonderful
Wonderful Vintage English Earthenware Polychrome Toby Jug, “The Squire”. The glossy jug is beautifully colored. The figure wears a large-brimmed black hat. This distinctive jug depicts a thin, gaunt gentleman with a beaky nose and long lank hair down to his shoulders. He is sitting on a corner chair wearing a long coat, knee breeches and hose, neck-scarf and buckled shoes. He clutches a jug of foaming ale to his belly. The base is an unusual shape, completely flat on the underside. The interior is gray. There is no maker’s mark. The Squire Jug is modeled after a Ralph Wood Original Squire Jug. The figure is not formed with the original pipe in the opposite hand. SIZE: 11 3/4 inches high x 7 inches wide at widest part. CONDITION: The jug is in good condition with crazing — there is a small hole at the end of the jacket sleeve, left side (as made) — the base rim has a chip. The jug is in very nice condition — very clean and bright. Nice collector’s piece — with great colors.
