Couldn't load pickup availability
This is a charming miniature ceramic Toby Jug (also known as a character jug), sculpted to represent a jolly, plump man, likely a scholar, parson, or gentleman of status.
The figure is depicted with a wide, smiling mouth, rosy cheeks, and wears a black academic or legal cap (similar to a trencher cap) and a dark blue/grey coat with a frilly white jabot or cravat.
Adding to the character is the handle, which is ingeniously shaped like a small, dark-brown bottle or barrel. The jug has a glossy finish and is a classic example of novelty ceramic collecting, popular for its humorous and historical character portrayal. It is set against a dark teal background on a reflective wooden surface, which highlights its small scale and intricate painting.
