Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £10

Estimated price: £10 - £20

Buyer's Premium: 20%

A cast stone Toby jug garden planter, designed as a large-scale decorative vessel for outdoor use. The piece is sculpted in the form of a stylized human head, characteristic of a traditional Toby jug figure, featuring a prominent nose, recessed eyes, and a broad, smiling mouth. The figure wears a wide-brimmed, floppy hat that flares at the rim to form the mouth of the planter. The neck is detailed with a textured collar featuring a row of circular bosses or buttons. The planter is constructed from cast stone or concrete with a buff-coloured, weathered finish. The interior is hollowed to accommodate soil and plants. There are weathered marks present on the lower part of the collar; these are not clearly legible as a name or manufacturer’s mark.
