Nice jug, made by Wilkinson, according to the seller, about 1922.
WEikinson are very well known for creating a series of 12 toby jugs to commemorate Word War 1 leaders, which were designed by a cartoonist called Goulde. This set is very highly saulght after by collectors, and some collectors I know who say they only collect pre 1820 jugs tend to make an exaption for this set.
I did do as bit of research about John Peel, and it turns out he was a famous huntsman, and had a very catchy tunes named after him. One thing I remember is that the character Oliver Stirling in the archers, who is the typical huntin, shootin and fishing type has this tune aa ring tone on his mobile.
looking at the jug, the detail is a bit flat, but I do like the fox sneaking out from under the jacket, the horn, and the riding frop at back.
The asking price in ebay is £1,300, and can be seen below :-
