Two small Prattware Toby Jugs, circa 1800-10

Seated and smoking pipes held in their right hands, one balancing a jug on his knee with his left hand, wearing blue striped trousers and an ochre coat, 11cm high, the other wearing yellow breeches and a blue coat, an ochre and white cat nestled by his crossed feet, 13cm high (2)

Footnotes

Provenance
James and Timmey Challenger Collection, Chicago

Toby Jugs of this diminutive stature are very rare. See John and Griselda Lewis, Pratt Ware (1984), p.247 for a pipe made from a very similar mould to the larger jug in the present lot.
