Toby Jug, Ordinary Pratt
A very nice Pratt jug. Notice first of all the Orange colour, just as vivid now as the day it was fired.
The handle is unusual, note the molding and paint.
The sunflkower on the small jug is a nice touch.
The heavy eyebrows is a bit of a disappointment, as is the lack of moulding detail on the left hand.
And as to the horizontal line accross the base, to me this is an indicator of a mid to late victorian example.
The blue coat is nice, but a bit wishy washy in places.
Feet, as you see, over lap the base, so if you turned him over you could see his legs are hollow.
Looks to be in good condition. Couls be a bit of a bargain at £500.
