Ralph Wood Toby Jug circa 1785Genuine Ralph Wood toby jug

Ralph Wood Long-Face with raised cup toby jug. Circa 1785. It's not very often that a toby appears with no restorations but this super toby is just one of those models. Absolutely in crisp clean condition and worthy of our connoisseur status. Toby's coat is an unusual dark grey colour, peppered in cobalt and manganese fragments, his face well defined with thick bushy eyebrows that give some Ralph Wood models a very distinct appeal. Wearing buckles on his shoes & holding a three quarters filled jug, the under base has been left unglazed. If you are seeking good quality with no restorations then look no further as this is a wonderful jug.

Height. 10.25 inches. Condition. No restorations.

Please note: If you purchase a toby jug from any dealer make sure the photographs provided are of sufficient large size so you are able to see the quality of the glaze finish you are purchasing. The light reflects in the translucent glaze of Toby's coat photographed and the pearlware colour on the face and hands shows a clean body.
