This is a Tony Weller 281 Beswick England Character Jug Mug. This Jug or Mug is approximately 6 7/8" high and approximately 7" wide, the handle is a cane or whip. The character Tony Weller is from Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870), "The Pickwick Papers" which was published in monthly parts from March 1836 - Oct 1837. The bottom of the jug or mug has impressed in the ceramic, in block letters "BESWICK ENGLAND 281" a signature "Tony Weller". This jug or mug is glazed inside and out. The inside of jug or mug is white. The coloring on this jug is delightful. See photos.

Beswick located in Longton, Staffordshire, England produced a fine porcelain product very similar in look and quality to Royal Doulton, from the 1930's to present when bought out by Royal Doulton. This is one of their very early pieces from the Dickens series.

Condition of this item is unusual and in very good condition for its age except where it had a small chip in the front rim of jug and someone tried to repair it. 

I am not sure of the age of this piece. I have tried to describe this item to the best of my ability.

Can add this to your collection. Great gift for yourself or for a loved one!
