20th Century Staffordshire Red and White Begging Spaniel Toby Jug
By Staffordshire
Located in Lomita, CA
This Staffordshire Spaniel jug is impertinent, from his expression to his hopeful gaze. The eyes seem animated and almost lifelike. This jug is in excellent condition with bright red, white and green and gilt touches in the form of the pup's gold collar and locket. This item came solo from a large estate collection of Staffordshire pieces in Los Angeles. The spaniel was on his own and is looking for a friend, [possibly] or he can go it alone. The mark is worn away from the bottom of the piece. This antique Staffordshire jug...

18th-Century English Pottery Hearty Good Fellow Toby Jug
Located in Downingtown, PA
"The Hearty Good Fellow": Rare Standing Pearlware Toby Jug
(Staffordshire, c. 1800)
A charismatic and vibrant English pearlware "Toby" jug, modeled in the scarce form known to collectors as the "Hearty Good Fellow." Dating to circa 1800, this piece represents a delightful departure from the standard seated Toby jug, depicting the figure in a standing, convivial pose.
The figure is modeled with a distinct sense of movement, his head turned slightly to the left. He is dressed in the height of Georgian tavern fashion: a deep cobalt blue jacket, a bright orange waistcoat, and vivid yellow breeches. Under his right arm, he supports a large white ale jug, while his left hand holds a pipe across his chest.
Reverse & Construction: The reverse reveals a robust rustic branch handle that extends downward into a molded tree-stump support. This integral support was a clever potter's device to stabilize the standing figure during firing. Both the handle and the rocky base are left in plain white pearlware—an unusual variation (as most examples feature green or brown painted bases)—which highlights the crispness of the molding.
Condition: Good antique condition. Typical minor flaking to the glaze on the rim of the tricorn hat...
