A pair of two Staffordshire Kevin Francis and Peggy Davies ceramic Toby jugs with certificates of authenticity. This lot comprises two hand-painted figures, including one example titled The Shield and one representing a tribute to Ralph Wood. The Shield jug is finished in a translucent blue-green glaze and depicts a seated man wearing a tricorn hat holding a foaming jug, with a boat shield at the base bearing the inscription It is all out then fill him agian. This intentional misspelling is noted on the documentation as a characteristic feature of the model. The Ralph Wood jug is decorated with a green coat, yellow waistcoat, and red breeches, showing the figure holding a beaker and a miniature Toby jug on his knee. The base of the first jug carries a green printed mark reading KEVIN KF FRANCIS ESTABLISHED 1987 THE SHIELD TOBY JUG MODELLED BY CARL PEERS A LIMITED EDITION OF 250 THIS IS NUMBER 141 Hand Made and Hand Painted in Staffordshire, England.
