Very fine Ralph Wood toby jug c.1780 - Lot 23 from the 1967 Mackintosh sale at Sothebys
Staffordshire c.1780 - of the four ex Mackintosh toby jugs that came up for sale last week this is, in my opinion, by far the best. In lovely original condition he's crisply moulded, richly coloured in translucent manganese, ochre and green and has a rich deep glaze - everything that you would expect to see on a fine Ralph Wood toby jug together with an outstanding provenance.
