Provenance
James and Timmey Challenger Collection, Chicago
Trousers in place of breeches are a very rare feature on 'Hearty Good Fellow' Toby Jugs and characterise the earliest examples, see Vic Schuler, Collecting British Toby Jugs (Third Edition, 1999), p.33. The present jug shows remarkable similarities to 'Postillion' Toby Jugs, particularly in the treatment of the coat and modelling of the face. Compare to the 'Postillion' jug also from the James and Timmey Challenger Collection sold by Bonhams on 15 December 2020, lot 55.
