Superb pair of vintage, @1960's, toby jugs! Grace Apgar, a sculptor and ceramist, purchased the original molds of these figures from an english manufacturer. Back in Marlboro, New Jersey at Big Brook Studio, she restored and redesigned these pieces. Molly Pitcher and her husband, John Hayes are represented as these authentic toby jugs of early American settlers. Quality pitchers, skillfully hand painted with attention to detail and a matte outer glaze and gloss inner glaze. On the bottom you will find the maker's mark "Molly Pitcher Hays, #5, by Grace Apgar, (c) U.S.A." and "John Hayes, (c) Grace Apgar, Toby #6, USA" - see photo. This duo is in very good condition with slight dings on each figure, notably around the top rim of the hats and on John Hays gun. T are no cracks or repairs on either piece. Each piece measures @ 4.75" x 10.5" x 4.75". (ps: these jugs sell for $50 apiece elsew Wonderful pair of vintage toby jugs to collect and display! ps: the holidays are coming...

Shipping Information Please note that the shipping cost reflects: shipping, handling and insurance included. Due to the antique nature of most of these items, I require insurance to protect both the seller and buyer - in most cases.
