Description

A massive Devonmoor advertising Toby jug c.1930, of usual form, seated and holding a tankard and a pipe, wearing a green coat over a claret waistcoat, with ruddy nose and cheeks, 60cm.

Only a handful of these out-sized jugs are believed to have been made at Devonmoor, probably during the factory's second period of manufacture after 1922.
