Welcome
"One of the Largest Private Collections to Come on the Market"Churchill Toby – Wilkinson
Arthur J Wilkinson, Royal Staffordshire Pottery, Burslem, 1941.
Measures 12″ high.
Number 198 of 350, signed by Clarice Cliff.
It is likely that Sir Francis Caruthers Gould did most of the work creating this Churchill toby jug. He designed a superb series of World War I leaders for Wilkinson from 1915-17 and would have almost certainly included Churchill had he not resigned over the Dardanelles disaster.
I am confident that this toby was designed in 1915 but withheld; then in 1941 Clarice Cliff modified it and made it available.
The original issue price was five guineas, (£5.25) and was sold and promoted by Harrods Ltd. of Knightsbridge.
In 2002 this toby was being sold on the secondary market for $2,750.00 according to Douglas Hall, a leading authority on Churchilliana and the author of The Book of Churchilliana, (see p164).
Today, if you can find one, it sells for considerably more.
