This one is a Shorter Hunchback, one of the most unusual Toby Jugs produced by that firm. Made about anytime after about 1940, but normally in the 1950's, this is a typical copy of a tried and tested staffordshire moukld of the 19th cenrury. Very basic moulding, and the nice thing about it is the fancy colouring. Wuite like the hat, the decoration makes it. At present it has an asking price on ebay of £200, and I think it should go for about half that. Nice angry expression, he looks as though someone has stolen his drink or put something foul in it. Would look nice in a shorter collection, but not really for a serious collector.
