A stoneware character jug by Dr Peter Meanley 2012

A stoneware character jug by Dr Peter Meanley 2012, modelled as an older gentleman with bristled moustache, wearing a striped tie and small hat, impressed 'pm 12' beneath the handle, 32cm.

This jug was originally one of a series of 12 produced for a museum in Germany, but seems to have appeared on the market almost immediately. The mould was adapted from a private commission of an Irish publican.

Provenance: from the Phil Medgett Collection of Toby Jugs.
