Rare Antique Miniature Toby Jug - Owd Bill by Thomas Cone



Rare pink glazed earthenware toby jug. It is marked on the base 'Cone 4" OWD BiLL" and is by Thomas Cone Ltd of the Alma Works, Longton. According to the Gooden's Encyclopedia these were produced and marked like this between 1892 and 1912. Apart from some crazing - which has not become ingrained with grime - it is in superb condition. A true collector's piece.

Measurements:

10cm (h) x 9cm across handle.

Weight with packaging: approx 500g.
