For sale is a vintage standing toby jug made by Shorter & Son Ltd of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. This toby figure wears a tricorn hat decorated with bunches of grapes, vine leaves and stands at 10 3/4" (27cm) in height.

Shorter & Son Ltd (1874-1964) was established by Arthur Shorter in 1874 and in 1894 purchased Wilkinson Pottery.

By the early 1960's, increasing foreign competition and changing public tastes took its toll on the company success and in 1964 merged with Fielding Pottery.
