Buy EARTHENWARE JUG. OLD HEAD. TOBY.

- Toby jug of an old man shouting.
- Toby jugs are full-body figures, usually seated, and jugs representing only head and shoulders are called 'portrait jugs', 'maskarons', or 'face jugs'.
- This second type appeared at the end of the 19th century, and its heyday coincided with the production of the designs of Charles Noke, head model maker between 1889 and 1941 at the Doulton factory.
- Today, as in the past, it produces tableware, porcelain figurines and traditional character jugs, and although there are other manufactures around the world, including English ones, that produce this type of jug, it remains the brand of reference.
- The jug has a very good workmanship, made of earthenware and enamelled.
- No distinguishing mark or contrast has been found that could provide information on where it was made, the maker's details, or any other information.
