Description
Add charm and character to your collection with this delightful vintage “Hearty Good Fellow” toby jug. Expertly hand-painted with vivid colors and fine detail, this ceramic figure embodies the classic English tradition of the jolly, ale-loving gentleman.

The jug doubles as a conversation piece and functional collectible, with the handle cleverly formed into the landscape behind the figure. This particular piece is unmarked on the base, suggesting it may come from one of the many quality mid-20th century English potteries, possibly dating from the 1930s to 1950s.
