DUTCH DELFT BLUE WHITE SIGNED 1750 TOBY JUG
Exceptional Toby jug character in blue and white Delft. Almost certainly made in the Netherlands. Signed TSL and dated 1750.<br>
approx 10 1/4inches high.<br>
Sits on round base. Boots, rolled/cuffed pants, a waist jacket under his coat and a nifty little tie over buttoned shirt. In one hand he holds a sack or bag of money, while another is tucked under his right boot. Clearly a man of means. The surface is magnificently painted with flowers. Fabulous detail. The face is marvellous as well - from the sideburns to the detail of lips and ears. <br>
Underneath, the piece is signed TSL and dated 1750. <br>
Condition can only be considered very good considering the age of the piece. There are a number of places (clearly shown in the 'photos), where the glaze has been worn off the porous ceramic, but there are no actual chips/cracks/restorations.
