SHORTER & SON D'OYLY CARTE OPERA THE MIKADO TOBY JUG KO KOThis vintage toby jug is in very good, previously owned condition. I read on line that is was made in the 1930's and was from a series of character jugs from different operas by Gilbert and Sullivan. This jug is the character KO KO from The Mikado. I believe this is a rare piece and getting hard to find.There are no chips or cracks and just some normal crazing from age. Nice shiny high gloss glaze. The only thing I noticed was two very small spots where the black glaze did not cover on the top of the hat when manufactured as shown. It is incised KO KO on the bottom and SHORTER and also stamped as well as shown.THIS JUG STANDS APPROXIMATELY 9-1/2 INCHES HIGH at the highest part AND is 6 INCHES at its widest part. SUPER PIECE TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION! I double box all pottery and request buyer to take insurance on this item. Please wait for me to send invoice after auction for correction shipping and insurance charges. Any questions, please email before bidding.I try to describe everything as precisely as possible. If I miss something please email before leaving feedback. I ship two days a week. The Post Office does not insure shipping charges unless they loose a package. They only cover the cost of the item.Thanks for looking in on my auction.
