This face jug features a striking orange face with a wide grin, prominent ears, and a textured, wavy hair design, topped with a smaller face under a brim decorated with red floral motifs. The glossy glaze and red accents suggest it’s an early 19th-century piece, likely Staffordshire pottery. The smaller face suggests a sailor or character figure, aligning with Toby jug traditions. This piece’s bold coloring and unique design make it a rare variant.
