Another example is illustrated by Captain R K Price, Astbury, Whieldon, and Ralph Wood Figures, and Toby Jugs (1922), pl.LI, no.86 where it is suggested that the portrait medallions on the base represent King George III, while the jug represents a waterman of the King's barge. The same example is also illustrated by Vic Schuler, Collecting British Toby Jugs (Third Edition, 1999), p.71 and discussed at p.27 where it is stated that only four examples of the model are recorded.
