A charming toby mug from the celebrated Stoke-on-Trent pottery Shorter & Son, whose character jugs remain a favourite with collectors of English ceramics. This jovial Georgian gentleman wears a rose-pink frock coat, cream waistcoat with green buttons and a powdered grey wig, his tricorn hat forming the rim of the mug and a glossy black handle completing the piece.
Fully marked to the base with the impressed “Shorter England” and the printed “Genuine Staffordshire Hand Painted, Shorter & Son Ltd, England” backstamp.
