This is the cutest piece by Shelley China, England It is a crested china, figural souvenir creamer or milk jug shaped like a toby jug or character jug of a drunk. He even has a pink nose! The toby jug has the the motto or saying No Tongue Can Tell, No Brain Can Think, Oh! How I Love, A Drop Of Drink. It has the shield of Douglas, Isle of Man on his tummy. This little cutie measures 4 inches high by 2.25 inches wide by 3 inches deep including the handle. He is in very, very good ++ condition with no chips or cracks with just a mineral inclusion speck on the back which happens with these early pieces. A very unusual piece, and not often seen because they are usually in someone's Shelley, toby jug or crested china collection. It dates to 1910-1925. Wonderful!
Shipping in the US by USPS Priority Insured is $9.90.
