Provenance
James and Timmey Challenger Collection, Chicago
Thomas Baddeley is recorded as an engraver at various addresses in Staffordshire between 1800 and 1834. The 'Tithe Pig and Parson' Toby Jug is discussed by Vic Schuler, Collecting British Toby Jugs (Third Edition 1999), p.49 and examples illustrated on pp.77-8. Only seven examples were recorded at the time of writing, including an example by Lakin and Poole of Burslem. See also Captain R K Price, Astbury, Whieldon, and Ralph Wood Figures, and Toby Jugs (1922), plate LVII, no.124. This important marked example of this rare jug does not appear to be recorded in the literature.
Please note that the base of this jug is incised 'Thos Baddeley Burslem'.
