Provenance
Bonhams sale, 28 October 2005, lot 103
A British Private Collection

When discovered by Bonhams in 2005, this model had not previously been recorded. With the exception of the positioning of his right arm and the shape of the hat, this Toby closely resembles the moulded designs by John Voyez found on the well known 'Fair Hebe' jugs. See the jug sold by Bonhams on 11 July 2018, lot 114
