A collection of six assorted polychrome glazed ceramic Toby and character jugs, featuring designs characteristic of mid-20th-century Staffordshire production. The group includes two full-figure seated Toby jugs: one depicting a gentleman in a red frock coat with yellow breeches and a yellow tricorn hat, holding a jug and pipe; the other portraying a Scottish Highlander in a kilt and traditional bonnet, holding bagpipes. The collection further comprises four character jugs of varying designs, including a large bust of a man with a grey wig and a quill pen tucked into his hatband, a figure in a blue coat holding a small white pitcher with red spots, a man in a blue coat and black tricorn hat, and a smaller character with a prominent mustache wearing a brown tricorn hat and orange waistcoat. These items are in the style of notable British manufacturers such as Royal Doulton and Shorter & Son.
