Description: | Toby jug. Seated full length figure smoking a pipe and originally holding a tankard. Mounted in a perspex box.
From the catalogue card under additional notes 'Originally holding a tankard. Probably of fairly recent date. Antiques Trade Gazette, May 21st 1983 p3 Gordon Savage reports ' And back to that shadowy, but ever recurring Sam Stevens, who has been mentioned before & who was clever enough not to copy, but to make historical objects which never existed. Next time you buy one of these beautiful mellow Toby jugs, so beloved by the bygone pundits, pull it apart if you dare & you'll find, not treasure, but a Gollywog jam jar supporting the core'.
From the front of the catalogue card in the inscriptions field ' On label inside hat ' Ward's depositor (Nelson Collection Greenwich, in pencil) High Harrogate'. | Publisher: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/page/7d7ded6fb50d6031e2884961a200be58.html | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Creator: | Stevens, Sam | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
