Ralph Wood Toby Jug
This
is a
nice example of a Ralph Wood (senior) Toby jug, circa 1780.
He holds a raised glass in one hand and an empty baluster jug in the other. Very unusual to find with a beauty spot on his face.
Has had some restoration & is priced to reflect this.

The Gin Woman
Another
of the few female tobies, The Gin Woman can be
found in several sizes, this being the largest
version at almost 10" tall.
Dating from the early 1800's, this one is very elaborately decorated with pink lustre effect hat & petticoat.

Unusually Large Snuff taker
Standing
at almost 11" high, this snuff taker is quite an eye-catching
jug.
The simplicity of the gold coloured embellishments help highlight the detailing which includes attractive relief moulded grapes and vines to the base and handle.
Majolica Falstaff
This
is a very crisply modelled Majolica toby jug, believed
to have been produced by Edward Steel of Hanley, Stoke on Trent.
Made in the form of Falstaff the Shakespearean character, this is one of the only toby jugs you will find that has a beard! This particular jug is not marked, but some do have a lozenge mark to the base for 1883.
Lovely condition.

Winston Churchill
This
is another example of a splendid 20th century Toby Jug, modelled
by Leonard Jarvis and depicting Sir Winston Churchill in his famous
"victory" pose.
He holds brushes & a paint palette in one hand, and around his feet are a trowel and an inkwell & quill, to illustrate his multiple talents.
Produced in a Limited Edition, this is a very rare find.

Small
Sailor
This toby jug dates from around 1810, and is referred to as the Small Sailor to distinguish it from the Rodney Sailor (see Gallery 1).
He is about 10" high & wearing typical sailors clothes of the time and is seated upon a large sea chest.
In one hand he holds a tall jug of foaming ale, and in the other is clasped his pipe. His hair is drawn back into a pigtail, and he is leaning lazily back against a tree stump which forms the handle of the jug.

The Squire
At
11.5" high, this
is another imposing jug decorated in quite an unusual green sponged
pattern with brown hat & shoes.
Holding a foaming brownware jug in his hand, he is quite an eye-catcher and would make a nice addition to any collection.

Stepped Base Toby
This
is another quality Toby Jug where the modelling & attention
to detail is superb! Look
at the foam on his ale which has a bubbling-effect; the strands
of his hair; his prominent teeth - he almost comes alive!
What makes this jug unusual is that it has what is known as a "Stepped" base, - where the underside of the base has an indent to the front raising it slightly higher than the rest. As yet I have not discovered the purpose of this.

The Drunken Parson
This is a nice of example of a Drunken Parson.
He is 8" tall and is holding an unusually large and particularly well decorated jug in his hand.
