c1800 Benjamin Franklin Staffordshire Toby Jug

A c1800 (could be earlier) Staffordshire Pottery Character/Toby Jug in the shape of Benjamin Franklin, inventor and founding member of the American Constitution.

It is sometimes assumed to be Mr Pickwick but this is a later character and would be wearing Victorian Clothing.

The condition is very good and we cannot see any chips or cracks. There is only a small kiln flaw on the handle where it joins the body.
