Early Toby Jug with large spout sprouting from rotund gentleman's belly!. Pottery. Toby Jug. Early Toby Jug with large spout sprouting from rotund gentleman's belly! 237 mm. 19th century?

Fair. (5). Stained throughout. Crazing throughout as well. Spout has been broken with the original piece glued back on, there is some flaking along the glue join. Split to inner rim from making. 9 x 5 mm chip to left heel. 20 mm hairline along left rear base edge. Kiln kiss to left elbow on right side. Little glaze flake to lower left. Really interesting item, not the usual, later Toby jugs made by Doulton by any means. This has a fair bit of age to it, possibly very early? Estimate: $30-50
